Project Title

This project is a proof of concept.
It tries to combine:

• boscop rust bindings for zserge webview
• rust backend
• ui as lightweight as possible:
  • hyperui
  • parcel
  • bulma
  • typescript
• easy development and deployment
  • development mode uses websockets as communication layer between ui and rust backend, permitting splitted debugging of ui by using the built-in browser dev tools, and rust debugging in vscode
  • production mode zips and bundles the ui inside the final executable.

Getting Started

• Clone this repository

• Development mode

  • From command prompt/terminal, run:
    • cd ui
    • npm install or yarn
    • npm run start
    • open localhost:1234 on your browser
  • In vscode
    • Open root folder
    • Go to Debug tab
    • select (Windows/Linux Dev)
    • Press F5
      refresh browser if ws communication is not working

• Production mode

  • From command prompt/terminal, run:
    • cd ui
    • node ../scripts/release.js
      you'll find the resulting executable in target/release folder
