I was trying to understand how
electron-builderworks under the hood so I created a diagram for it using code-canvas.com. I think it will be pretty helpful for contributors to quickly onboard to the inner-works ofelectron-builder.Here is the generated diagram for
electron-buildergrouped by the application's use-cases and their runtime data flows:Open electron-builder's interactive diagram
I built code canvas to simulate a senior engineer who have been working on
electron-builder's codebase for pretty long and can explain to you any functionality of the repository visually through diagrams.Here is what users are saying about codecanvas
"I used to spend 4 hours asking GPT how a use case in a codebase works and I keep going back and forth until I am able to draw a diagram to summarize my understanding,
CodeCanvas gives me that diagram in 40 seconds"
Some Notes:
electron-builder, completely free, no monthly subscription. Consider it as my contribution to help fellow contributors lower their context onboarding friction before they can start contributing.
