Warning

Due to Wails requiring some additional system dependencies, we are not testing this example regularly on CI/CD. Therefore, this example might not build when you try it. Contributions are very welcome!

A version of ../connect as a desktop application. When running the desktop application, an Iroh endpoint id will be displayed. This id can be plugged into a terminal running the ../connect example as a sender. What the sender types in the terminal will appear in the connect-desktop application window.

Dependencies

This example has been tested on the following versions.

Wails v2.10.2
Node v20.11+

Please consult the Wails docs for everything you need to get up and running.

Wails

go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v2/cmd/wails@v2.10.2

Listener (this example)

./connect-desktop

Terminal 2 (sender)

Run ../connect in a terminal and connect to the endpoint id displayed by the listener.

You'll see a connection notice if the two endpoints manage to connect to each other. You can type messages in the sender terminal and they will be shown on the screen of the desktop app.
