Electron – How to add external files?

Managed to solve it by using extraResources. Should be declared under build in your package.json file.

For example:

1. Create a new folder named extraResources adjacent to pacakge.json

2. Add the following code to your package.json file:

   "build": {
       "extraResources": ["./extraResources/**"]
   }
   

3. Then, you can access the files inside this folder by using __dirname + '/../extraResources/' from your main app.
