AppJS

!AppJS AppJS is an SDK to develop desktop applications using node. Or at least
it is going to be!

The goal is to facilitate native app development using
tools every developer is familiar with nowadays: HTML/CSS/JS

_Attention:_ You should not use AppJS before we bump version to
v0.1.0, it is under heavy development.

!Hello World

How to install

Only Linux version works for now. Pull requests for other platforms are very welcome

Using npm:

$ npm install appjs

Using git:

$ git clone https://github.com/milani/appjs
$ cd appjs/bin
$ ./configure

How to use

There is a complete example in the examples/ folder.

Here is a simple one:

var appjs = require('appjs');

var window;

// Initialize appjs.
var app = appjs.init();

// Called when page load finishes.
app.on("ready",function(){
console.log("Event Ready called");

// Runs a script in browser context.
window.runInBrowser(function(){
var body = document.body;
body.style.color="#f60";
});

// Show created window ( see below )
window.show();
});

// Routing:

// you can use a static router:
// app.use(app.staticRouter('./public'));

// or you can handle requests manually:
app.get("/",function(req,res,next){
res.send("\
\
\
Hello World\
\
")
});

// Creates a new window. Its invisible until window.show() get called.
window = app.createWindow("appjs://app/",{autoResize:false});
