Introduction

The traditional method of providing web interfaces to Go programs is via a built-in web server. Wails offers a different approach: it provides the ability to wrap both Go code and a web frontend into a single binary. Tools are provided to make this easy for you by handling project creation, compilation and bundling. All you have to do is get creative!

Features

Use standard Go for the backend
Use any frontend technology you are already familiar with to build your UI
Quickly create rich frontends for your Go programs using pre-built templates
Easily call Go methods from Javascript
Auto-generated Typescript definitions for your Go structs and methods
Native Dialogs & Menus
Native Dark / Light mode support
Supports modern translucency and "frosted window" effects
Unified eventing system between Go and Javascript
Powerful cli tool to quickly generate and build your projects
Multiplatform
Uses native rendering engines - _no embedded browser_!

Roadmap

The project roadmap may be found here. New functionality and public behaviour changes use a WEP (Wails Enhancement Proposal), submitted as a draft pull request rather than a feature-request issue.
