I want to write a simple App using Electron and Angular 2. I followed some tutorials to setup a Hello World app and created an executable with Electron-packager. Everything works fine, but the problem is, that the folder, which contains the executable and its components, is about 230 Megabytes. Is there a way to minimize the size of it? I know I could create a Zip-file and a setup, but that is not what I want to do, the goal is to reduce the size of the installed folder. The package.json I used: { "name": "myApp", "version": "0.0.1", "description": "", "main": "index.js", "scripts": { "start": "electron .", "build": "electron-packager . myApp --platform=win32 --arch=x64" }, "author": "me", "license": "ISC", "devDependencies": { "electron-prebuilt": "^0.37.5", "electron-packager": "^6.0.2", "es6-shim": "^0.35.0", "ts-loader": "^0.8.2", "typescript": "^1.8.9", "webpack": "^1.12.15", "webpack-dev-server": "^1.14.1", "concurrently": "^2.0.0", "lite-server": "^2.1.0", "typings":"^0.7.11" }, "dependencies": { "angular2": "^2.0.0-beta.14", "zone.js": "^0.6.10", "bootstrap": "^3.3.6", "gulp": "^3.9.1", "es6-shim": "^0.35.0", "reflect-metadata": "^0.1.3", "rxjs": "^5.0.0-beta.5", "systemjs": "0.19.25" } } Continue reading...
