  1. electron-react-boilerplate

    A Foundation for Scalable Cross-Platform Apps

    Im trying to install usb-detection on my electron js project using electron-react-boilerplate . I get the following error due to the post install script and cant get passed it for running or packaging the app.

  3. usb

    Improved USB library for Node.js

    I'd recommend https://github.com/node-usb/node-usb instead of usb-detection, it has hot plug events available and is better maintained. It uses NAPI for its addons so they don't need to be rebuilt per Electron version, and more helpfully, you can run tests in NodeJS and then bundle it for Electron and you don't need to rebuild the module between each.

  4. serialport

    Access serial ports with JavaScript. Linux, OSX and Windows. Welcome your robotic JavaScript overlords. Better yet, program them!

    Strangely enough it does package fine with electron-builder but does not work in dev mode. The same happens when I try to use https://serialport.io/ which is also another module where you could achieve device detection.
