Next Steps

Congratulations on generating your template!

Completing your template

The next steps to complete the template are:

1. Complete the fields in the template.json file.
   • It is really important to ensure helpurl is valid as this is where users of the template will be directed for help.
2. Update README.md.
3. Edit wails.json and ensure all fields are correct, especially:
   • assetdir - path to your assets
   • wailsjsdir - path to generate wailsjs modules
   • frontend:install - The command to install your frontend dependencies
   • frontend:build - The command to build your frontend
4. Remove any public or dist directories.
5. Delete this file.

Testing your template

You can test your template by running this command:

wails init -n test -t D:\code\golang\wails-vue3-template

Checklist

Once generated, do the following tests:

• Change into the new project directory and run wails build. A working binary should be generated in the build/bin project directory.
• Run wails dev. This will compile your app and run it.
  • You should be able to see your application running on http://localhost:34115/

Publishing your template

You can publish a template to a git repository and use it as follows:

wails init -name test -t https://your/git/url

EG:

wails init -name test -t https://github.com/leaanthony/testtemplate
