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!

PLEASE NOTE: As we are approaching the v2 release, we are not accepting any new feature requests or bug reports for v1. If you have a critical issue, please open a ticket and state why it is critical.

Version 2

Wails v2 has been released in Beta for all 3 platforms. Check out the new website if you are interested in trying it out.

Installation

The installation instructions are on the official website.

FAQ

• Is this an alternative to Electron?

  Depends on your requirements. It's designed to make it easy for Go programmers to make lightweight desktop applications or add a frontend to their existing applications. Whilst Wails does not currently offer hooks into native elements such as menus, this may change in the future.

• Who is this project aimed at?

  Go programmers who want to bundle an HTML/JS/CSS frontend with their applications, without resorting to creating a server and opening a browser to view it.

• What's with the name?

  When I saw WebView, I thought "What I really want is tooling around building a WebView app, a bit like Rails is to Ruby". So initially it was a play on words (Webview on Rails). It just so happened to also be a homophone of the English name for the Country I am from. So it stuck.
