### [Project Introduction](https://energye.github.io/en/course/what-is-energy)
- Energy is a GUI framework developed in Go, based on [LCL](https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus) and [CEF](https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef)(Chromium Embedded Framework), which is used to develop cross-platform desktop applications for Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
- LCL alone can create lightweight native applications, or can be combined with CEF to create more feature-complete applications.
- Construct cross-platform desktop applications that support Windows, Linux, and MacOS using Go and web technologies (HTML + CSS + JavaScript).
### Characteristic
- Rich CEF API and LCL system native widgets
- Development environment is simple and the compilation speed is fast. Only need Go and Energy.
- Cross-Platform: You can package your code as Windows, domestic UOS, Deepin, Kylin, MacOS and Linux
- Responsibilities
- Go: Go is responsible for creating Windows, configuring CEF and implementing functions, creating various UI components, calling the low level of the system and some functions that JS cannot handle, such as: file flow, security encryption, high-performance processing, etc.
- Web: HTML + CSS + JavaScript is responsible for the function of the client interface, you can make any interface you want.
- Front-end technology: Support mainstream frameworks, such as Vue, React, Angular or pure HTML+CSS+JS.
- Event driven: High performance event driven communication based on IPC allowing intercommunication between Go and Web.
- Resource loading: You can either read local resources or resources built into execution files either with or without HTTP services.

### [Development Environment](https://energye.github.io/en/course/getting-started)
#### Basic needs
- Golang >= 1.18
- Energy (CEF, liblcl)
#### Environmental installation
Automatic installation development environment using the energy [command-line tool](https://energye.github.io/en/course/cli-use/)
### Guide to Start - [Link](https://energye.github.io/en/course/getting-started)
- [Guide](https://energye.github.io/en/course/getting-started)
- [Example](https://energye.github.io/en/examples)
- [Document](https://energye.github.io/en/document)
### Quick Start
- [Getting Started](https://energye.github.io/en/course/getting-started)
### Run a simple application by three steps
1. Install development environment: `energy install`
2. Initiate an Application: `energy init`
3. Run the Application: `go run main.go`
### sample code
main.go
```go
package main
import (
"github.com/energye/energy/v2/cef"
)
func main() {
//Global initialization
cef.GlobalInit(nil, nil)
//Create an application
app := cef.NewApplication()
//Specify a URL address or local HTML file directory
cef.BrowserWindow.Config.Url = "https://energye.github.io"
//Run Application
cef.Run(app)
}
```
### Build
1. Build：`energy build`
2. Package：`energy package`
3. Package Type：
- windows: Using `nsis` create exe installation package
- linux: Using `dpkg` create deb installation package
- macos: Generate `xxx.app`
