All solutions are based on a combination. Your users will need to download the zip file, uncompress and then run the app.exe file contained. Generally, three solutions exists on the market: Electron, NW.js (Node Webkit), and CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework). You can now remove the nw.exe & app.nw files, zip the directory and distribute the package. nw file built using Zip in the package directory, alongside nw.exe, and call it app.nw That’s it! You can now change the default icon and properties in the Contents/ist file. Or alternatively, copy the app directory there and name it “app.nw”.
Right-click, “Show package content”, go in Contents/Resources and copy there the app.nw file built with Unzip the node-webkit.app package downloaded from the node-webkit site. Now, let’s dig into packaging and distributing an app. You can for example hide the top bar with address and debugger, set the menu items, and decide pretty much all you need. There are a lot of options you can now add to the package.json file, but that’s a start. You can double-click it on Mac, or drag over the node-webkit application on Windows, and it will run. If the version is different from the running one, download new package to a temp directory.
You have now created a package of the app. It gives you low-level API to: Check the manifest for version (from your running 'old' app).
NODE WEBKIT HOW TO
bash haxelib install node-webkit How to use: haxelib run node-webkit path/to/index. $ alias nw="open -n -a node-webkit '/PATH_TO_APP_DIRECTORY/' node-webkit-haxelib Installation using haxelib. exe, (25.6mb zipped) heres the package.
NODE WEBKIT .EXE
exe file using Space Blaster demo and node-webkit: Link to download. Now to run the app, download the runtime from the site for your specific platform, and then you can call 1) Inspired with this I succesfuly created an. Run the appįirst, let’s introduce the index.html file In this post I’m just scratching the surface of it, by deploying and building a package for a web application, on Mac and Windows, just like it’s a native application. It lets us call node.js code and modules directly from the DOM, and opens new possibilities for native applications written using Web technologies. It’s based on Chromium (despite its name) and node.js. Node-webkit is, that’s how it’s called from its creators, a web runtime. Linux is also part of the game, but I’m not covering it. Create a folder release, extract node-webkit-v0.8.6-win-ia32.zip in it and remove nw.exe, move package.nw in it. Zip the folder which contains Smartcup app source code.
Warning: this post is old and might not reflect the current state of the artįirst, a disclaimer: I’m not going to cover running Node.js code, but just packaging a web app to run on Mac and Windows. To make a distribution package on Windows.
