remix-electron issue

This is a simple repro demonstrating what happens when you try to integrate remix-electron with a recent Remix starter.

To see the error:

pnpm i
pnpm build
pnpm electron desktop/index.js

Here's the error:

pnpm electron desktop/index.js
App threw an error during load
ReferenceError: require is not defined in ES module scope, you can use import instead
This file is being treated as an ES module because it has a '.js' file extension and '/path/to/remix-electron-issue/package.json' contains "type": "module". To treat it as a CommonJS script, rename it to use the '.cjs' file extension.

Development

From your terminal:

npm run dev

This starts your app in development mode, rebuilding assets on file changes.

Deployment

First, build your app for production:

npm run build

Then run the app in production mode:

npm start

Now you'll need to pick a host to deploy it to.

DIY

If you're familiar with deploying node applications, the built-in Remix app server is production-ready.

Make sure to deploy the output of remix build
