wails build does not output a JS module ?

[RyoTagami]

Hello. I'm trying wails v2 beta42.

According to the documentation, when wails dev command is executed, a JS module is created in the "wailsjs" folder.

• A JS module is generated that provides the following:
  • Javascript wrappers of your Go methods with autogenerated JSDoc, providing code hinting
  • TypeScript versions of your Go structs, that can be constructed and passed to your go methods

However, they are not output when the wails build command is executed. Is this an intentional specification?

I'm planning to automate the build, but if I only run the wails build command, it fails to build the front-end. (Because the "wailsjs" folder doesn't exist.)

I think that the "wailsjs" folder should not be versioned. But should it be version controlled?

Hi. Yes it's deliberate so there are no surprises when you make your builds. You could always use wails generate module if you wanted to do this. I'd personally check in that code as they are core parts of your app, but maybe that's just me 😜

Thanks for answering!

I've never heard of the wails generate module command before!
I tried it with my code and it works fine💛

Hmmm... you're right. It's not in the docs! Let's sort that out.
