What we have discussed in this chapter is crafting user interfaces using some of the available libraries. But as always, these frameworks are not necessary to build user interfaces. CSS is much more powerful for building user interfaces to any extent. Expertise in CSS, with a little more web development experience, can help you create an amazing native user interface for Electron or any other desktop application. You can even continue working on Bootstrap, angular/react--material, or any other framework along with these frameworks.
In the next chapter, we will see how Node.js can be used inside our Electron application. We will be looking at the following topics in the next chapter:
- Using Node.js modules with Electron
- Using relational databases directly from Electron using Electron
- Using ORM frameworks from Electron
- Using a brand new package management tool called
yarn
instead ofnpm
