Go/HTML/CSS/JS Desktop application scaffold.
How it works
Build your application using Go APIs, and an HTML/CSS/JavaScript front-end
inside the www
folder, just like a normal web root.
Building the package will generate a .app
mac application file that will
host a simple web server serving the assets and any other endpoints you build.
When run, the application will open a web view into the www
folder (and therefore
the index.html
page).
Usage
Build with: make build
,
run with: make run
- See the
Makefile
for more commands
Dependencies
- https://github.com/machinebox/appify - macOS Application Builder
- https://github.com/zserge/webview - Web view
- https://github.com/gobuffalo/packr - Asset packaging (puts JS/CSS/HTML files into the Go binary)
Install
Use make install
to run:
& go get github.com/machinebox/appify
$ go get github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata/...
$ go get github.com/elazarl/go-bindata-assetfs/...
Run
Run with make run
.
To see log output open Console Application and search for My Go Desktop App
(or whatever your app ends up being called).
