About

Netclient. A lightweight client GUI for Netmaker.

Development

Due to addition of the github.com/gravitl/netclient library, you will need root privileges to run the app, even in dev mode. Always skip automatic TS modules generation when building or starting dev mode with -skipbindings because the models of some Go types are not generated. Only generate modules when you are sure. you will have to change the unkown types to any after generation.

Cheatsheet

• Generate TS modules with export WAILS_EXEC="$(which wails)" && sudo -E PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin $WAILS_EXEC generate module && sudo chown -R "$(whoami)" .
• Run dev mode with export WAILS_EXEC="$(which wails)" && export NODE_PATH=/home/aceix/.volta/bin && sudo -E PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin:$NODE_PATH $WAILS_EXEC dev -skipbindings

*actual paths might differ for you

If you want to develop in a browser and have access to your Go methods, there is also a dev server that runs on http://localhost:34115. Connect to this in your browser, and you can call your Go code from devtools.

You can configure the project by editing wails.json. More information about the project settings can be found here: https://wails.io/docs/reference/project-config

The frontend directory holds code for the UI. Make any UI changes only in this directory (inluding dependency installs like npm install).

Building

To build a redistributable, production mode package, use wails build -skipbindings (might also need root access).
