Building a Configuration Generator for Mikrotiks Using Wails and React

• Wails

  64 22,095 9.4 Go

  Create beautiful applications using Go

  

Before attempting to build a solution in "Wails," I created a GUI using Fyne. Fyne was easy to build with, and I could make all of the desktop components using Go. Unfortunately, The legacy laptops I have to support don't have a recent graphics driver that would work with OpenGL, so I had to find another solution. Wails is that solution. Wails is a cross-platform desktop application framework that uses a web-view and web technologies to create a User Interface (UI). Now I can use React, the most popular framework for building UIs, and not rely on Go's fledgling GUI support. The fact that Wails uses mshtml, a win32 API that hasn't seen an update since Internet Explorer version 11 (IE11), was a feature in my case.

  Build smaller, faster, and more secure desktop applications with a web frontend.

  

Wails made it simple to create a front-end for my application. I'd be willing to use it again for desktop development. Although, for future projects, I am considering another path using Tauri.
