Basic operations (window system ):

1. Download the corresponding node-webkit.pdf of the system and run nw.exe in the directory.

2. Create package.jsonand index.html, compress them into the test.zip package, and drag them directly to the test.zip package to nw.exeto open it in nw.exe mode.

3. Package text.zipand n1_exeinto test.exe. commands may be run in the window.

Copy/B n1_exe1_test.ziptest.exe

Run test.exe directly.

Note: nw.exe must be placed before the plus (+). Run the merge command in cmd. The powershell command in win8 reports the error "copy-Item: unable to find the parameter 'B .exe' format parameter ".

4. Install the Enigma Virtual Box (http://enigmaprotector.com/en/aboutvb.html) and package all the files into an executable exe program.

 

Package. json:

Package. json is the configuration file of the project. You can configure the window border, toolbar, full screen, window size and position, icon, and node. js Startup File, default page opened, maximum and minimum size of window, etc. The default page is set to main. For details about the parameters, see:

Node. js module extension:

You can download various node. js module extensions in the directory and store them in the node_modules directory.

Call the module form on the page:

var imageMin= require('imagemin');//to do something…

Http. js:

var PORT = 8000;var http = require('http');var url = require('url');var path = require('path');var fs = require('fs');var mime = require('./mime').types;var server = http.createServer(function (request, response) {    var pathname = url.parse(request.url).pathname;    var realPath = "test" + pathname;var ext = path.extname(realPath);ext = ext ? ext.slice(1) : 'unknown';var contentType = mime[ext] || "text/plain";    path.exists(realPath, function (exists) {        if (!exists) {            response.writeHead(404, {                'Content-Type': contentType            });             response.write("This request URL " + pathname + " was not found on this server.");            response.end();        } else {            fs.readFile(realPath, "binary", function (err, file) {                if (err) {                    response.writeHead(500, {                        'Content-Type': contentType                    });                     response.end(err);                } else {                    response.writeHead(200, {                        'Content-Type': contentType                    });                     response.write(file, "binary");                     response.end();                }            });        }    });});server.listen(PORT);console.log("Server runing at port: " + PORT + ".");

Package. json:

{  "name": "nw-demo",  "main": "http://localhost:8000/test.html",  "nodejs":true,  "node-main":"http.js",  "window":{"width":400,"height":300,"transparent":true  }}

Mime. js:

exports.types = {    "css": "text/css",    "gif": "image/gif",    "html": "text/html",    "ico": "image/x-icon",    "jpeg": "image/jpeg",    "jpg": "image/jpeg",    "js": "text/javascript",    "json": "application/json",    "pdf": "application/pdf",    "png": "image/png",    "svg": "image/svg+xml",    "swf": "application/x-shockwave-flash",    "tiff": "image/tiff",    "txt": "text/plain",    "wav": "audio/x-wav",    "wma": "audio/x-ms-wma",    "wmv": "video/x-ms-wmv",    "xml": "text/xml"};<strong></strong>

Disadvantages of node-webkit:

The final package contains a large number of files. The size of files required by node-webkit alone is nearly 60 MB, and the size after compression is nearly 25 MB.
