Create a Capacitor Electron Plugin

Create or open a Capacitor V3 compatible plugin in your editor of choice.
Create a folder named electron in the root of this plugin, with a sub-folder of src in it.

Create a ts file in the above src folder named index.ts and either paste in the following example code of the @capacitor/dialog plugin and edit away, or create your own from scratch:

import { dialog } from 'electron'
import type {  DialogPlugin,  AlertOptions,  PromptOptions,  PromptResult,  ConfirmOptions,  ConfirmResult,} from '../../src/definitions';
export class Dialog implements DialogPlugin {  async alert(options: AlertOptions): Promise<void> {    await dialog.showMessageBox({message: options.message + ' --- electron'});  }
  async prompt(options: PromptOptions): Promise<PromptResult> {    const val = window.prompt(options.message, options.inputText || '');    return {      value: val !== null ? val : '',      cancelled: val === null,    };  }
  async confirm(options: ConfirmOptions): Promise<ConfirmResult> {    const val = window.confirm(options.message);    return {      value: val,    };  }}

Create a .gitignore file in the electron folder with the following:
```
dist
```
Create a .npmignore file in the electron folder with the following:
```
src
```

Create a rollup.config.js file in the electron folder with the following:

export default {  input: 'electron/build/electron/src/index.js',  output: [    {      file: 'electron/dist/plugin.js',      format: 'cjs',      sourcemap: true,      inlineDynamicImports: true,    },  ],  external: ['@capacitor/core'],};

Create a tsconfig.json file in the electron folder with the following:

{  "compilerOptions": {    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,    "declaration": true,    "experimentalDecorators": true,    "noEmitHelpers": true,    "importHelpers": true,    "lib": ["dom", "es2020"],    "module": "commonjs",    "noImplicitAny": true,    "noUnusedLocals": true,    "noUnusedParameters": true,    "outDir": "build",    "sourceMap": true,    "strict": false,    "target": "ES2017"  },  "include": ["src/**/*"]}

Modify the main package.json in the root directory, add a property to the capacitor object so it reflects the following (android and ios shown for example only):
```
"capacitor": {  "ios": {    "src": "ios"  },  "android": {    "src": "android"  },  "electron": {    "src": "electron"  }},
```
Modify the main package.json in the root directory, add an entry into the files array of the following: electron/
Modify the main package.json in the root directory, add an entry into the scripts object of the following: "build-electron": "tsc --project electron/tsconfig.json && rollup -c electron/rollup.config.js && rimraf ./electron/build",
Modify the main package.json in the root directory, edit the build entry in the scripts object to be the following: "build": "npm run clean && npm run docgen && tsc && rollup -c rollup.config.js && npm run build-electron",
Run the build npm script to build your plugin.
Release it to NPM then use in your capacitor apps as any other native plugin like android or ios. (dont forget to use npx cap sync/copy/update/open @capacitor-community/electron)
