[feature] support main process bundling about electron-vue HOT 4 CLOSED

@zxc23

You bring a very valid point here. There are plans to bring support for main process bundling, but they are taking a more time than expected as I'm waiting for webpack 2 to be come of beta. For now, you could look into window.js from electron-boilerplate and copy this script over manually. It does require fs-jetpack but should not be too difficult to migrate to just using standard fs.

Also, I'm not sure the title of this issue makes too much sense. These window state packages don't rely on localStorage.

Gotcha. Sorry for the inconvenience. I tried supporting this awhile back, but webpack was pretty finicky, so hoping for better results this time around.

Thanks for the response. I didn't mean 'LocalStorage' specifically, but I can see how it might come across that way. I'll edit it to whatever is more suitable, but I don't know how to phrase it better. :)

I'll give that script a go, and if it doesn't work out, I'll sit tight and hope for the best in the future. Today I started using vuex-persistedstate, which is working out nicely for persisting some settings across sessions, but of course it's limited to the Vue side of the app. You may hear more from me in the future, as I appreciate the responses you give to my queries.

Webpack 2 has finally been released and the structure has changed a little. All dependencies will now be treated as externals and node_modules will no longer be ignored. This will enable the use of external node modules within both the renderer and main processes. You can take a look now in the dev branch. Expect an update to master soon.
