# electron-background
Launch an [Electron](https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron) application from the command line as a detached application. The command line will return immediately, and the application will not attach to your active terminal.
## CLI
Start your application as you normally would except using `electron-background` instead of `electron`:
```bash
npx electron-background .
```
## API
I can't see why you might want this, but if you do... why not:
```javascript
const electronBackground = require('electron-background');
electronBackground(['.']);
// you can now exit if you want, the app will stay running
process.exit();
```
