# Electron Vite React (open-source desktop app)

> Electron Vite React is a free, open-source desktop app for Windows and macOS. Electron + Vite + React + Sass boilerplate. It has 2,432 GitHub stars and is released under the MIT license. Its source code is on GitHub at electron-vite/electron-vite-react.

Files under electron/ are compiled into dist-electron/. The renderer: {} preset in vite.config.ts is only a Vite adapter that polyfills Electron, Node.js APIs and native modules for the renderer process. It is not the same as enabling Node integration. If you want direct Node.js access in the renderer, enable nodeIntegration in the BrowserWindow webPreferences in the main process and review the security impact carefully.
