---- `Muon` is a lightweight alternative to Electron written in Golang in about ~300 LoC, using Ultralight instead of Chromium. [Ultralight](https://ultralig.ht/) is a corss-platform WebKit rewrite using the GPU to target embeded desktop applications that resulted in a fast, lightweight, and low-memory HTML UI solution that blends the power of Chromium with the small footprint of Native UI. # Features - Full JS to Go interop - GPU based rendering - Cross-platform - Hot-reloading - Superior disk size + memory & cpu usage | | Muon | Electron | |:----:|---------|----------| | CPU | 0.0% | 1.2% | | MEM | 26.0 MB | 201.7 MB | | SIZE | 42 MB | 136 MB | # Example From `examples/create-react-app/main.go`: ```go package main import ( "github.com/ImVexed/muon" "cra-go/webfiles" "net/http" ) func main() { // Any static asset packer of your liking (ex. fileb0x) fileHandler := http.FileServer(webfiles.HTTP) cfg := &muon.Config{ Title: "Hello, World!", Height: 500, Width: 500, Hint: 2 | 4, } m := muon.New(cfg, fileHandler) // Expose our `add` function to the JS runtime m.Bind("add", add) // Show the Window and start the Runtime if err := m.Start(); err != nil { panic(err) } } // Muon automatically handles interop to and from the JS runtime func add(a float64, b float64) float64 { return a + b } ``` # FAQ ## Q: *How are JS types translated to Go types?* - JS: `Boolean` Go: `bool` - JS: `Number` Go: `float64` - JS: `String` Go: `string` - JS: `Object` Go: `struct` via JSON ## Q: *I get `exit status 3221225781` when I try to run my program* - Your program likely can't find the [Ultralight](https://ultralig.ht/) libraries. Ensure they're either installed on the system, or, in the same folder as your program.
