Knack is a framework to build cross platform applications using the web stack - HTML, CSS and Javascript. It is built using https://github.com/zserge/webview as the webview. The size is much smaller compared to electron.
It is under development.
go get github.com/promignis/knack
Current usage(it will change)
html/svg files in views folder (will pick index.html by default)
css files in styles folder
js files in js folder
image files in images folder
window.onRuntimeLoad = function() {
_runtime.loadView("contacts.html") // replaces the current html with ./views/contacts.html
_runtime.loadCss("filename.css") // injects from ./styles/filename.css
_runtime.loadJs("bundle.js") // injects from ./js/bundle.js
_runtime.loadImage("test.png", "test") // injects ./images/test.png to img tag with id "test"
}Open file and get data in callback(will open native file browser)
_runtime.openFile((fileData) => {
// do something with file data
})if callback not present returns Promise
_runtime.openFile().then(fileData => {
})Save file with fileData
_runtime.saveFile(fileData)Do fuzzy match over a any dictionary
// dict, word, levenshtein_distance, callback
_runtime.fuzzyMatch(["asd", "abc"], "ab", 1, (results) => {
// returns array of results
// in this case "abc" as 1 distance away from "ab"
})if callback not present it returns Promise
_runtime.fuzzyMatch(["asd", "abc"], "ab", 1).then(results => {
// output
})Fuzzy search on files
_runtime.getFileWalker("../", (fileList) => {
let fileDict = JSON.parse(fileList).map(file => file.name)
_runtime.fuzzyMatch(fileDict, "main.g", 3, (fuzzyResults) => {
})
})if you have babel-async-await setup
_runtime.getFileWalker("../", async (fileList) => {
let fileDict = JSON.parse(fileList).map(file => file.name)
let fuzzyResults = await _runtime.fuzzyMatch(fileDict, "main.g", 3)
})better use via Promises
getFileWalker is planned to return Promise in future
