# Core Core is an opinionated Go framework for building desktop apps with Wails. It provides a small set of focused modules: - Core — framework bootstrap and service container - Core.Config — app and UI state persistence - Core.Crypt — keys, encrypt/decrypt, sign/verify - Core.Display — windows, tray, window state - Core.Docs — in‑app help and deep‑links - Core.IO — local/remote filesystem helpers - [Core.Workspace](https://core.help/) — projects and paths Help: https://Core.Help \ Web: https://dAppCo.re \ Repo: https://github.com/Snider/Core ## Quick start ```go import core "github.com/Snider/Core" app := core.New( core.WithServiceLock(), ) ``` ## Tasks This project uses [Task](https://taskfile.dev/) for task automation. The root `Taskfile.yml` includes the `Taskfile.yml` from `cmd/core-gui` and `cmd/core` under the `gui` and `cli` namespaces respectively. The following tasks are available: ### General - `task test`: Run all Go tests recursively for the entire project. - `task review`: Run CodeRabbit review to get feedback on the current changes. - `task check`: Run `go mod tidy`, the full test suite, and a CodeRabbit review. ### GUI Application (`cmd/core-gui`) - `task gui:build`: Builds the GUI application. - `task gui:package`: Packages a production build of the GUI application. - `task gui:run`: Runs the GUI application. - `task gui:dev`: Runs the GUI application in development mode. ### CLI Application (`cmd/core`) - `task cli:build`: Builds the CLI application. - `task cli:build:dev`: Builds the CLI application for development. - `task cli:run`: Builds and runs the CLI application. ## Docs (MkDocs) The help site and in‑app docs are built with MkDocs Material and live under `pkg/v1/core/docs`. - Live preview: from `pkg/v1/core/docs` run - `pip install -r requirements.txt` - `mkdocs serve -o -c` (or `task dev` if you use Task) - Build static site: `mkdocs build --clean -d public` (or `task build`) The demo app embeds the built docs from `public/` and can open specific sections in new windows using stable, short headings.
