Electron: Adding an Executable Binary

asar-bin-files.md

You can add files to the final asar using electron-builder's extraFiles field in package.json.

In package.json,

"build": {
  "additionalFiles": {
    "from": "resources/${os}/myBin",
    "to": "Resources/bin/myBin",
    "pattern": "**/*"
  }
}

In the main process,

import path from 'path'
import { execFile } from 'child_process'

const execPath = path.join(process.resourcesPath, 'bin/myBin')
const env = {}
execFile(execPath, { env }, (error, stdout, stderr) => {
  // do something...
})
