README

Excerpt

Adding an npm Library

This is an Electron app with three separate build targets (main, preload, renderer) and a few non-obvious bundling rules. Adding a dependency the wrong way silently breaks CSS, native modules, or the renderer bundle. Follow this guide every time.

Golden Rule: install the latest, caret-pinned

Always install the newest published version. Never hand-edit package.json to set or downgrade a version.

npm install <pkg>@latest          # runtime dependency
npm install -D <pkg>@latest       # dev / build-only tool (types, bundlers, test libs)

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
