2604ecc0f8* test(v3): add comprehensive unit tests for pkg/application Add 11 new test files to improve test coverage of the pkg/application package from 13.6% to 17.7%. New test files: - context_test.go: Context struct operations - services_test.go: Service management and lifecycle - parameter_test.go: Parameter and CallError types - dialogs_test.go: Dialog utilities and button methods - webview_window_options_test.go: Window options and constants - application_options_test.go: ChainMiddleware and app config - keys_test.go: Keyboard accelerator parsing - single_instance_test.go: Single instance management and encryption - menuitem_internal_test.go: Menu item internal functions - menu_internal_test.go: Menu internal functions - screenmanager_internal_test.go: Screen geometry and transformations The 40% target was not fully achievable because ~50% of the codebase is platform-specific code that can only be tested on respective platforms. Tests focus on pure Go logic, utility functions, and data structures that can be tested cross-platform. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: address CodeRabbit review comments - dialogs_test.go: improve ID recycling test to verify either recycled ID (id3 == id1) or new unique ID (id3 > id2) - keys_test.go: make accelerator String() tests platform-agnostic by checking suffix patterns rather than exact platform-specific strings 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix: normalize temp dir path for macOS compatibility in test os.TempDir() returns a trailing slash on macOS, causing path comparison to fail.

Introduction
The traditional method of providing web interfaces to Go programs is via a built-in web server. Wails offers a different approach: it provides the ability to wrap both Go code and a web frontend into a single binary. Tools are provided to make this easy for you by handling project creation, compilation and bundling. All you have to do is get creative!
Features
- Use standard Go for the backend
- Use any frontend technology you are already familiar with to build your UI
- Quickly create rich frontends for your Go programs using pre-built templates
- Easily call Go methods from Javascript
- Auto-generated Typescript definitions for your Go structs and methods
- Native Dialogs & Menus
- Native Dark / Light mode support
- Supports modern translucency and "frosted window" effects
- Unified eventing system between Go and Javascript
- Powerful cli tool to quickly generate and build your projects
- Multiplatform
- Uses native rendering engines - no embedded browser!

FAQ
-
Is this an alternative to Electron?
Depends on your requirements. It's designed to make it easy for Go programmers to make lightweight desktop applications or add a frontend to their existing applications. Wails does offer native elements such as menus and dialogs, so it could be considered a lightweight electron alternative.
-
Who is this project aimed at?
Go programmers who want to bundle an HTML/JS/CSS frontend with their applications, without resorting to creating a server and opening a browser to view it.
-
What's with the name?
When I saw WebView, I thought "What I really want is tooling around building a WebView app, a bit like Rails is to Ruby". So initially it was a play on words (Webview on Rails). It just so happened to also be a homophone of the English name for the Country I am from. So it stuck.
