Add existing Next.js project to Electron app?

[hoangvu12]

Is there any way to add existing Next.js project to Electron App? I have a Next.js website project, now I'm planning to create an Electron app without using Webview to display the website the directly. I don't want to copy each file so a way like pull code from the website's repository would be awesome

Technically you should be able to just copy the whole Next.js project into the renderer/ folder. Or am I missing something?

if I can clone and pull the existing code from repo into /renderer would be awesome, I just don't want to manually change everything if I add/change something on that existing code.

I'm not quite sure how many people could use something like that. What do you think about writing a script in batch or with Node.js + fs that'll copy files over before you run the code?

I tried to manually copying the source code from my website and it didn't seem to run, looks like the errors are from webpack things

If you show them we can try to figure out what happens there.

Why cant Electron be added to an existing Next js project? that sounds like a trivial thing that should just work by default
