dist not working in electron to view index.html

[biancode]

maybe dist is to build on start?

"start": "ng build --prod && electron . | ng serve"

@biancode yep, your right. I haven't invested too much time in the development setup and couldn't find any Electron / Angular 2 boilerplate which satisfied me. The dist build is only practical if one plans to do a release. I personally uncomment following line (https://github.com/fh1ch/node-bacstack-browser/blob/master/main.js#L13) while actively developing.

I will improve the developer workflow and also come up with a way to easily build a production release.

@fh1ch, It would be nice if LOAD_URL came from an environment variable at run time. I typically use the webpack EnvironmentPlugin for this functionality in my build pipelines.

Angular CLI doesn't support the environment plugin, but they may have an alternative environment handling option.
