# grunt-electron-packager-builder

Grunt tasks for working with electron, can run, compile and generate installers applications.

```
## I am working to improve this.
This task has many errors but works with electron 1.2. *.
The task 'installer' (electron-builder) does not work well.
```

## Install
```sh
npm install grunt-electron-packager-builder --save-dev 
```

## Quick Setup for this task.
  Gruntfile.js

        options:{
          appPath  :  './app' // default './app'
        }
      }
    },
    epack : {
      default:{
        options:{
          icon      : './app/recursos/icon', //Auto detect platform extension.
        }
      }
