Cross-platform Desktop Document Scanner App

This sample demonstrates how to create a desktop document scanning app using Electron and the Dynamic Web TWAIN SDK for Windows, Linux and macOS.

A Basic Electron Application

Refer to https://github.com/electron/electron-quick-start for guidance on setting up a basic Electron application, which requires just these files:

package.json - Points to the app’s main file and lists its details and dependencies.
main.js - Starts the app and creates a browser window to render HTML, serving as the app’s main process.
index.html - The web page that is rendered, acting as the app’s renderer process.

Usage

Request a trial license and update the license key in index.html:
```
   Dynamsoft.DWT.ProductKey = 'LICENSE-KEY';
```

Install the dependencies:

 npm install -g electron
    
 cd app
 npm install

Run the app:
```
 electron .
 # Or 
 # npx electron .
```

Packaging the App for Distribution

Install asar.
```
 npm install -g asar
```
Package the app:
```
 asar pack app app.asar
```
Download Electron prebuilt package and copy the app.asar file to the resources folder.
Run the app by executing the Electron binary.
