Using vanilla javascript library with electron/typescript

Question

Im trying to include this library into my electron app and it works when I start my electron app in development mode (electron-forge start). But when I build my app using electron-builder --win I get an error saying Date.today is not a function.

I included the library in my index.html like so

  <script type="text/javascript" src="js/Datejs/build/date-de-DE.js"></script>

Having not seen any code or folder structure, I am going to take a guess and say that when your app is built, Electron doesn't see the path to js/Datejs/build/date-de-DE.js because it's running directory is in a different folder than the js directory. In other words, the js directory was most likely excluded from the build process.

Are you sure that you are including all the right files in the build process?

Check out the documentation to see how to set the config to include different files

Good guess, this seems to be the solution. I didn't try including the directory in the build process I just removed the library and used momentjs.
