Support packaging nativefier applications into Squirrel-based installers (#744)
[Squirrel](https://github.com/Squirrel/Squirrel.Windows) is *"an installation and update framework for Windows desktop apps "*. This PR adds `electron-squirrel-startup`, allowing to package nativefier applications into squirrel-based setup installers. Squirrel require this entrypoint to perform desktop and startup menu creations, without showing the UI on setup launches. - References: https://github.com/mongodb-js/electron-squirrel-startup - Resolves `electron-winstaller` and `electron-installer-windows` support of desktop / startup menu shortcuts for nativefier packaged applications. - The `electron-squirrel-startup` entrypoint has no effect on both Linux and Darwin, only on Windows - Supporting it directly inside `nativefier` avoids having to "hack" around the existing `main.js` and including dependencies from `electron-squirrel-startup` in an intermediate package to be included in a third layer for the final installer executable - The following script based on both `nativefier` and `electron-winstaller` templates represents a portable proof of concept for this merge request : ```js var nativefier = require('nativefier').default; var electronInstaller = require('electron-winstaller'); var options = { name: 'Web WhatsApp', targetUrl: 'http://web.whatsapp.com', platform: 'windows', arch: 'x64', version: '0.36.4', out: '.', overwrite: false, asar: false, counter: false, bounce: false, width: 1280, height: 800, showMenuBar: false, fastQuit: false, userAgent: 'Mozilla ...', ignoreCertificate: false, ignoreGpuBlacklist: false, enableEs3Apis: false, insecure: false, honest: false, zoom: 1.0, singleInstance: false, fileDownloadOptions: { saveAs: true }, processEnvs: { GOOGLE_API_KEY: '<your-google-api-key>' } }; nativefier(options, function(error, appPath) { if (error) { console.error(error); return; } console.log('App has been nativefied to', appPath); resultPromise = electronInstaller.createWindowsInstaller({ appDirectory: 'Web WhatsApp-win32-x64', outputDirectory: './', authors: 'Web WhatsApp', exe: 'Web WhatsApp.exe' }); resultPromise.then(() => console.log('It worked!'), e => console.log(`No dice: ${e.message}`)); }); ```
