sorry, but I don't use Typescript. I think there are some existing templates with CRA and electron, in Typescript
after "nf start", we also opened the Web Browser,how to avoid it ?
@shileima Do you mean the browser starts separately from the electron container? If so, unfortunately I don't know.
@shileima "start": "BROWSER=none react-scripts start" in package.json
thanks @concept11studios

Thanks, it was great.
Can you also show how can we configure it for a TypeScript application that was created with create-react-app --template typescript?
