Can we use ?asset&asarUnpack on a directory instead of file?

[lamualfa]

Is there a better way for packing a folder into electron? These solutions doesn't works.

Directory structure

➜  learn-electron 
resources
├── addons
│   └── file-1
│   └── file-2

---

Import solution

src/main/index.ts

import addonsDir from '../../resources/addons?asset&asarUnpack'

console.log(addonsDir)

pnpm dev

➜  learn-electron pnpm dev

> [email protected] dev /<redacted>/learn-electron
> electron-vite dev

process.resourcesPath solution

src/main/index.ts

const addonsDir = path.join(process.resourcesPath, 'addons')

console.log(addonsDir)
console.log(readdirSync(addonsDir))

pnpm dev

➜  learn-electron pnpm dev
