List All Files in a Folder and Subfolders with Electron & React
9 November 20233 min read
To get a list of all files in a folder and its subfolders using Electron and React, you can use the Input Event to read the directory and file information. Here's a basic example of how you can achieve this:
1. First, make sure you have Electron and React installed in your project:
npm create @quick-start/electronThen follow the prompts!
2. Add Tailwind to Electron:
npm install -D tailwindcssthen...
npx tailwindcss initConfigure your template paths
Add the paths to all of your template files in your tailwind.config.js file.
Add the Tailwind directives to your src/renderer/src/assets/index.css files
Now add postcss.config.js file to your root directory.
Modify your src/preload/index.ts
file to set an api route
Now add this code to App.ts inside the renderer folder
Run your app:
npm run devThis example assumes that you have a basic understanding of Electron and React. Also, note that this example doesn't handle errors, and in a production environment, you should implement error handling for better robustness.
