🕸 Web Window

Open a website as a standalone window with Deno

This app uses deno_webview and denomander.

🚀 Features

• Open a website (and specify title, resizable, and fullscreen)
• Set toolbar color
• Install "executable", so website can be opened as an app without using command-line

🌏 Options

To open a website as a window, run

deno run -A --unstable https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/ninest/web-window/src/mod.ts open https://github.com/ninest

Note: jsdelivr is used over raw.githubusercontent.com because it is shorter and faster.

There are a few more options:

• --fullscreen: Open the window in fullscreen
• --title <string>: Set the window's title, to show in the toolbar
• --resizable <bool>: Whether the window should be resizable (defaults to true)

-f, -t <string>, and -r <bool> can also be used.

Examples

# Open my github profile in a window with a title "Ninest"
deno run -A --unstable https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/ninest/web-window/src/mod.ts open https://github.com/ninest --title "Ninest" 

# Open youtube in fullscreen with no title
deno run -A --unstable https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/ninest/web-window/src/mod.ts open http://youtube.com/ --fullscreen

(no need to download anything to run these examples)

To see a list of all options/commands, run

deno run -A --unstable https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/ninest/drink-if-exists/src/mod.ts --help

👟 Running as an app

Mac

Create a file app.command with the following:

#!/bin/sh

deno run -A --unstable https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/ninest/web-window/src/mod.ts open https://github.com/ninest

(see the file example-app.command)

If you don't have priviledges to open the file, open Terminal and enter the command

chmod u+x app.command 

Now open app.command (double-click it in Finder)

🛠 Build setup

Clone or fork the repository, then run

deno run -A --unstable index.ts open https://github.com/ninest

😱 Issues and limitations

• Non-resiable windows cannot be put into fullscreen
• WebView.setColor doesn't seem to work on Mac OS. When this is fixed, --color can be added
