I took a crack at this, but had to change the structure of the app to get it all working. I used @xwartz project example.

Electron-builder defaults to using an ‘app’ folder to build to (so the ‘dist’ folder in the boilerplate). And the application source files in an ‘src’ folder. It also has two package.json files, one for development and one for application. I think due to my lack of knowledge on webpack I’m missing something with that step and ended up with duplicate dependencies to get it to build. In @xwartz project there were no dependencies in the application package.json.

To do:

figure out how to manually load dependencies from the application package.json for webpack building.
revert the paths to the boilerplate default (need to figure out how to override these settings in electron-builder).
