Package Exports

@electron/get

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@electron/get) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

How It Works

This module downloads Electron to a known place on your system and caches it so that future requests for that asset can be returned instantly. The cache locations are:

Linux: $XDG_CACHE_HOME or ~/.cache/electron/
MacOS: ~/Library/Caches/electron/
Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%/electron/Cache or ~/AppData/Local/electron/Cache/

By default, the module uses got as the downloader. As a result, you can use the same options via downloadOptions.
