About:
Energy is a command-line interface designed to bootstrap and manage the Energy development environment, a framework for building cross-platform desktop applications using the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF). It streamlines the setup process, allowing developers to quickly initialize projects, manage dependencies, and handle build configurations for creating modern, web-technology-based desktop software.
Key Features:
  • Automated project scaffolding and initialization
  • Simplified management of CEF dependencies and toolchains
  • Cross-platform build orchestration for Windows, macOS, and Linux
  • Integrated commands for development, testing, and packaging
Use Cases:
  • Setting up a new desktop application project using web technologies
  • Managing the build lifecycle for an existing Energy-based application
  • Automating development environment setup in CI/CD pipelines
Alternatives:
  • Electron Forge – Energy is a specialized framework for CEF, while Electron Forge is a general-purpose toolkit for building Electron apps.
  • Node.js/npm – Energy provides a higher-level, domain-specific CLI for CEF applications, whereas npm is a universal package manager for JavaScript.
