# Overview
|
|
|
|
The `display` module is a core component responsible for the visual presentation and system integration of the application. It leverages **Wails v3** to create a desktop application backend in Go and **Angular** for the frontend user interface.
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
The project consists of two main parts:
|
|
|
|
1. **Backend (Go):** Handles window management, system tray integration, application menus, and communication with the frontend. It is located in the root directory and packaged as a Go module.
|
|
2. **Frontend (Angular):** Provides the user interface. It is located in the `ui/` directory and is built as a custom element that interacts with the backend.
|
|
|
|
## Key Components
|
|
|
|
### Display Service (`display`)
|
|
The core service that manages the application lifecycle. It wraps the Wails application instance and exposes methods to:
|
|
- Open and configure windows.
|
|
- Manage the system tray.
|
|
- Show system dialogs (e.g., environment info).
|
|
|
|
### System Integration
|
|
- **Menu:** A standard application menu (File, Edit, View, etc.) is constructed in `menu.go`.
|
|
- **System Tray:** A system tray icon and menu are configured in `tray.go`, allowing quick access to common actions like showing/hiding windows or viewing environment info.
|
|
|
|
### Demo CLI
|
|
A command-line interface (`cmd/demo-cli`) is provided to run and test the display module. It includes a `serve` command for web-based development.
