Building an Electron File Explorer with Quasar (and Vue)

I just published my tutorial “Building an Electron File Explorer with Quasar (and Vue)”. If interested, check it out: https://medium.com/quasar-framework/building-an-electron-file-explorer-with-quasar-and-vue-7bf94f1bbf6

10 hours ago? Fantastic timing, Hawkeye!!

@Jon Why? Building something similar?

[Jon]

Well, I’m about to start project to replace an old Adobe Flex application, and I’m leaning towards Quasar+Electron… yours is practically the first result I Googled and it’s very instructive (although recreating the file explorer isn’t the most useful application for me lol)

So, thank you.

Glad it could be of use. Sounds like an interesting project.

@Hawkeye64 great work!
I am also interested in Electron development. Currently i am considering strategy for unit and e2e tests? What i found until now is mocha for unit tests and spectron eventually cypress for integration / e2e tests. Which approach would you recommend?

Cheers,

@Oggo This was really my first app in Electron because I wanted to know how to do it. I have not done any type of unit testing for Electron, although I would be interested in learning the best approaches. I do know that there will be an integrated testing environment in Quasar v1.0. I am hoping it works well with Electron/Cordova as well.
