    Yea, I've done that. I think the problem is with other dependencies.
    Tried one click example it's working fine. But something is wrong with datepicker... It's just not popping up lol

    @fyroc can you help me for one thing? Electron with AngularJs is good? or should I go for other library/framework?(I'm using MongoDb).

    @lazysnail Angular is great for Electron. Check this out.

    https://github.com/baseljs/basel

    This is a framework using SQLite but should be easy to implement mongodb

    @fyroc I just tried packaging the app its fucking big.... 80MB...
    And even it didn't took CDNs which i used(don't know it should take or not) or I have to add them all manually?

    @lazysnail Electron apps are always going be huge. I think the smallest I got was 35mb. Remember that it's basically a mini node web server.

    @fyroc I think I'm doing something wrong or maybe the whole idea is wrong lol.
    I have REST api(node and express) and I'm using that to fetch results from mongodb. But after packing why it's not working or I've to do other thing to make it work?

    Do you have CORS enabled on your API server

    @fyroc Solved that after 3damn hours, don't know why but packager didn't took one dependency so I put manually. It's working fine now.
    But, I'm thinking I'll build this in Angular2. And Thank you very much for answers and suggestions, i really appreciate that.
