Developing your Application

You can run your application in development mode by running wails dev from your project directory. This will do the following things:

  • Build your application and run it
  • Bind your Go code to the frontend so it can be called from JavaScript
  • Using the power of Vite, will watch for modifications in your Go files and rebuild/re-run on change
  • Sets up a webserver that will serve your application over a browser. This allows you to use your favourite browser extensions. You can even call your Go code from the console

To get started, run wails dev in the project directory. More information on this can be found here.
