Build a distributable app from an atom-shell app source code directory. Currently only Mac OS is implemented but you can send PRs to implement windows/linux :)
For an example project using this, check out Monu
npm i atom-shell-packager
$ atom-shell-packager my-app-source-dir AppName
This will:
- Download latest version of Atom Shell
- Create a Mac app in
cwd
calledAppName.app
You should be able to double-click AppName.app
to launch the app. If not, check your settings and try again.
Be careful not to include node_modules you don't want into your final app. For example, do not include the node_modules/atom-shell-packager
folder or node_modules/atom-shell
. You can use --ignore=node_modules/atom-shell
to ignore of these
these are optional CLI options you can pass in
out
(default current working dir) - the dir to put the app into at the endversion
(default hardcoded in source) - atom-shell version to useapp-bundle-id
- bundle identifier to use in the app plisthelper-bundle-id
- bundle identifier to use in the app helper plistignore
(default none) - do not copy files into App whose filenames regex .match this string
