ed81ab01e7* ## Summary
I have successfully implemented support for `allowsBackForwardNavigationGestures` in Wails v3. Here's what I accomplished:
### Investigation Results
- **Issue Status**: The feature was **NOT** previously implemented in Wails v3
- **go-webview2**: This library is Windows-only and doesn't provide macOS WKWebView features
- **Need**: A native implementation was required specifically for macOS WKWebView
### Implementation Details
1. **Added new option**: `AllowsBackForwardNavigationGestures u.Bool` to `MacWebviewPreferences`
2. **Extended C bridge**: Updated the C struct to pass the preference to Objective-C code
3. **Implemented WKWebView setting**: Added code to set `webView.allowsBackForwardNavigationGestures` during initialization
4. **Updated preference processing**: Extended the Go code to handle the new preference
### Key Files Modified
- `v3/pkg/application/webview_window_options.go`: Added the preference option
- `v3/pkg/application/webview_window_darwin.go`: Implemented the C bridge and WKWebView configuration
### Usage Example
```go
window.SetOptions(application.WebviewWindowOptions{
Mac: application.MacWindow{
WebviewPreferences: application.MacWebviewPreferences{
AllowsBackForwardNavigationGestures: u.True(),
},
},
})
```
### Testing
- ✅ Code compiles successfully
- ✅ Created working example demonstrating the feature
- ✅ Follows existing Wails v3 patterns and conventions
### Benefits
- Provides native macOS two-finger swipe navigation
- Better performance than JavaScript alternatives
- Maintains accessibility features
- Seamless integration with existing Wails v3 API
The implementation is ready for testing and could be submitted as a PR to the Wails repository. The feature addresses the exact requirements from GitHub issue #1857 and provides both specific and API-consistent access to WKWebView's navigation gesture functionality.
* Perfect! I have:
1. ✅ Removed the `NAVIGATION_GESTURES_FEATURE.md` file
2. ✅ Removed the `example_navigation_gestures.go` file
3. ✅ Updated the `UNRELEASED_CHANGELOG.md` with a FIX entry
The changelog entry properly documents that this fix adds support for `allowsBackForwardNavigationGestures` in macOS WKWebView to enable two-finger swipe navigation gestures, referencing issue #1857.
The implementation is now clean and ready, with only the essential code changes remaining and the changelog properly updated to reflect the fix.

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.
