Electron API Demos

Combining the latest and some of the most reliable web technologies to date, Electron is a modern framework and probably one of the best choices for wrapping web apps for desktop use with the help of JavaScript, HTML and CSS.

While there is a hefty amount of documentation behind Electron, as a beginner, you clearly need all the assistance you can get. This said, you can get a head start with a very useful and exciting app named Electron API Demos.

Built by the same team behind the aforementioned framework itself, the utility provides you with a quick way to understanding what Electron is all about and, ultimately, towards building your first basic Electron app.

The piece of software undergoes a typical and surprise-free installation process. Upon launching the app, you are met by a 'Welcome' screen that offers a few insights about the app's purpose and structure.

The API demos are well-organized in specific categories and can be easily accessed from the panel on the left side of the main window. The categories are as follows: Windows, Menus, Native User Interface, Communication, System and Media.

Each group offers an essential insight into Electron's basic features. For example, within the Windows section, you can easily learn how to create a new window or a frameless window, as well as to manage a window state.

For your convenience, the app also offers live demonstrations of Electron's basic functionality.

Just click the 'View Demo' button and you should get an instant example of what you should be implementing in your future Electron-based app.

Taking everything into consideration, Electron API Demos is probably the most useful application for any rookie developer that aims to build a cross-platform and native applications by wrapping web apps with the help of Electron.

Another noteworthy aspect is the fact that since the utility is itself Electron-based, it can be used on macOS and Linux just as efficiently.
