Electron Development Services

Build Modern Desktop Apps Using Electron

Electron is an open-source framework created by GitHub. Electron allows you to use web technologies to develop desktop Graphic User Interface applications. Combining the Node.js runtime and Chromium rendering engine, Electron ensures high-quality application development.

Used in many popular apps, like Discord and Slack, Electron combines frontend and backend technologies and offers a plethora of handy tools that help developers deliver top software. Electron can be really powerful in the hands of experienced developers, like those from Astec.

Advantages of Using Electron

Single Codebase

Electron uses one codebase both for web and desktop applications, which makes the development process much faster. Moreover, a single codebase helps developers avoid the headache of maintaining separate code for different platforms.

High Compatibility

Electron integrates with all JavaScript libraries and frameworks. Angular and Node.js are just two most popular of a myriad of frameworks that can be easily combined with Electron to deliver amazing apps.

Top Documentation

Electron offers detailed documentation that walks you through all secrets of the framework. Difficult concepts have a straightforward explanation, so developers can grasp complex ideas quickly and put the saved time into app development.

Active Community

Electron has a big, thriving community of passionate developers always ready to help you solve your issue. Ready solutions to most common problems are just a click away, and even if the problem is less popular, you can still count on the community’s help.

How Can Electron Help My Business?

We have prepared answers to some of the most common questions asked about Electron web development:

Is Electron good for desktop app development?

Electron has been developed with desktop app development in mind. Given the vast popularity of web apps, one would think that desktop applications are long forgotten. Quite contrary! A desktop app renaissance is happening right now, and Electron is one of the reasons for the comeback. Electron allows you to build robust cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS) desktop applications using web technologies like CSS, HTML and JavaScript. Developers experienced in those web technologies do not have to learn anything new, and can utilize well-known web development tools in a new context – desktop app development. As a result, a lot of time and money, that otherwise would have been spent on training developers in new technologies, is saved.

Can you use Electron with other frameworks?

Electron is a highly compatible framework that supports integration with pretty much any popular JavaScript framework or library. Be it Angular, Node.js or React Native, Electron adjusts all these frameworks to work as Graphic User Interface desktop app development tools. Desktop application development has never been as easy as now with Electron!

Which apps have been built using Electron?

A wide variety of successful desktop applications has used Electron.. Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is an advanced source-code editor developed by Microsoft. Famous for its high performance and lightning speed, VS Code works with an array of different languages, including Java, C, JavaScript and PHP. VS Code includes support for syntax highlighting, debugging, code refactoring and automatic code completion, making it a very complex yet well-performing and efficient application. Slack is yet another powerful, fast-performing Electron app. Slack combines Electron with Node.js to provide superb user experience. In addition to the above, Electron’s capabilities found widespread use in: Discord, Skype, WordPress Desktop, Postman, and dozens of other apps, making Electron a true wonder of desktop app development.

Is Electron the right choice for cross-platform development?

Part of what makes developing desktop apps difficult is ensuring cross-platform compatibility. Windows, Linux and macOS are systems with very different implementations of its features. What it effectively means is that if you would like to write an application for all three operating systems, you would normally have to rewrite big chunks of code, or even maintain separate projects for each operating system. Lucky for you, you don’t have to! Electron does the job for you. Electron solves the problem by providing a single platform for Windows, Linux and macOS, which means that developers write a piece of code and can be sure it will flawlessly work on all three operating systems. Electron saves developers from the headache of porting from one operating system to another.
