Building and Testing Beaver Notes
Now that you have your development environment ready, let's move on to building and testing Beaver Notes.
Please note that building for macOS requires a Mac, and building for flatpak and snap requires Linux with a specific setups.
Keep in mind that building for different platforms may require additional dependencies or configurations. Please refer to the documentation and requirements of each platform for smooth building and packaging.
Keep in mind that Electron builder will erase the .exe package if you compile for both ARM and x64 at the same time, as both packages will have the same name. Therefore, you should build the ARM version first and add '.arm64' before the '.exe' prefix so that the package isn't deleted when you build the x64 version.
To initiate watch mode and continuously observe your app while developing, run:
yarn watch
With the watch mode active, any changes you make to the code will automatically trigger recompilation. This way, you can conveniently test your modifications on the go.
To build Beaver Notes, run the following command
yarn build
To build the finished product you can use the following commands
For Windows, macOS and Linux (x64):
yarn electron-builder build --config electron-builder.config.js --win --mac --linux --x64
For Windows, macOS and Linux (arm64):
yarn electron-builder build --config electron-builder.config.js --win --mac --linux --arm64
As a Beaver Notes developer, your dedication and feedback are invaluable in ensuring the stability and quality of the app. Together, we can make Beaver Notes an outstanding and user-friendly note-taking experience.
