Hey all, I made a tiny library that provides a cross-platform web UI for Go apps.
https://github.com/zserge/webview No dependencies on Windows and Mac. Gtk-Webkit is only required on Linux and OpenBSD. Resulting binaries are much smaller and less resource-hungry comparing to Electron. Supported browser engines are modern enough to let developers use HTML5/CSS3 without any quirks (on Windows IE10-IE11 are used). I tried to keep Go API very simple, and the whole library is very concise, too. JavaScript<->Go bindings are provided to let core app communicate with the UI. I haven't thought much about how to architect such apps, but to me the reactive approach works really well (something similar to redux). I keep app state in Go as a structure, pass it as JSON to the UI and incrementally update the UI (using picodom.js). Also, in response to UI actions I send a JSON describing the action and its parameters to Go where I handle it and update the state. You may look at an example here: https://github.com/zserge/webview/tree/master/examples/todo-go Apart from the app architecture, I wonder what features do you think this library lacks for your needs, or what could be done better. Any ideas, feedback or critique are welcome. Thanks! Serge -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
