About the project

This Electron IdentityNow starter is a template for a desktop application you can use build out GUI applications that integrate with IdentityNow.

Project Structure

The current implementation of this app has three main folders:

• Sveltekit-App
• Sveltekit-Build
• Electron-App

The purpose of each of these folders is to hold a different portion of the total app, or rather different stages of the application.

(back to top)

Sveltekit-App

The Sveltekit-App folder contains the main content of the application, this is where you will likely be doing 90% of your development.

SvelteKit is a framework that allows easy development of applications utilizing both frontend and backend components and modern security standards, and when you are ready to build it allows you to compile your code into numerous different deployment methods using different adapters (static html, node server, edge or lambda functions).
SvelteKit can be explored more here.

If you use this starter to build on top of, you will get a number of things implemented right out of the box:

• an OAuth Flow
• the SailPoint SDK
• a Desktop build of your app
• TypeScript
• SvelteKit
• TailwindCSS

Sveltekit-Build

When you are ready to build your application, running the build command in the Sveltekit-App folder, will build the application using the node adapter for SvelteKit, and the build will be placed in the folder Sveltekit-Build/src

(back to top)

Electron-App

The Electron-App folder contains the code relevant to the electron portion of the application, this is where you determine the window theme, size, shape, and behavior as well as the startup logic for the application.

Currently when running the electron application, the handler that is generated from the sveltekit build is imported and passed to an express server that runs the application, an electron window is then opened pointing at that local express server, so once the app is running you can even open the app directly in a web browser if you prefer.

Build the application from source

Prerequisites:

• To build the application from source you will need NPM installed. You can find instructions on how to install NPM here.

Once you have NPM installed, you can clone this repository and run the following commands in the specified order and folders:

Go to the folder: ./Sveltekit-App First, run this command:

npm install

Then run this command:

npm run build

Next, go to the folder: ./Electron-App First, run this command:

npm install

Then, run this command:

npm run build

As long as there are no errors during the build process, the built application binaries will then be located in the ./Electron-App/out folder.
