New API Electron Desktop App

This directory contains the Electron wrapper for New API, providing a native desktop application with system tray support for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Prerequisites

1. Go Binary (Required)

The Electron app requires the compiled Go binary to function. You have two options:

Option A: Use existing binary (without Go installed)

# If you have a pre-built binary (e.g., new-api-macos)
cp ../new-api-macos ../new-api

Option B: Build from source (requires Go) TODO

3. Electron Dependencies

cd electron
npm install

Development

Run the app in development mode:

npm start

This will:

Start the Go backend on port 3000
Open an Electron window with DevTools enabled
Create a system tray icon (menu bar on macOS)
Store database in ../data/new-api.db

Building for Production

Quick Build

# Ensure Go binary exists in parent directory
ls ../new-api  # Should exist

# Build for current platform
npm run build

# Platform-specific builds
npm run build:mac    # Creates .dmg and .zip
npm run build:win    # Creates .exe installer
npm run build:linux  # Creates .AppImage and .deb

Build Output

Built applications are in electron/dist/
macOS: .dmg (installer) and .zip (portable)
Windows: .exe (installer) and portable exe
Linux: .AppImage and .deb

Configuration

Port

Default port is 3000. To change, edit main.js:

const PORT = 3000; // Change to desired port

Database Location

Development: ../data/new-api.db (project directory)
Production:
- macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/New API/data/
- Windows: %APPDATA%/New API/data/
- Linux: ~/.config/New API/data/
