Go/HTML/CSS/JS Desktop application scaffold.

[![Default icon which you can customize](misc/icon-small.png)](https://github.com/machinebox/desktop/blob/master/icon.png)

## 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).
