Can I create a desktop application using JavaScript?

Question

I want to create a desktop app using JavaScript, CSS and HTML. Is this possible ? And what is the method used ?

Please answer me..

Answer 1

🌴Vincent Berger🌴 AppJS has been an inactive project for the past few years.

I agree with Calviղ to take a look at https://electronjs.org.

It's a great platform to work with. You can also consider Chrome Extensions for similar desktop like cross platform experience written with HTML, CSS, and Javascript.

But I really recommend Electron.

Answer 2

Based on the article posted by Calvin, Proton Native looks promising and may be worth a closer review.

Answer 3

Mohamed Rezk Khalaf,
To develop a desktop application for linux or windows in JS, CSS, HTML, you can accomplish that with:
http://appjs.com/

Additional you can also use Titanium CEF. But I think it uses C++ also.

EDIT: Outdated Solution!
correct solution is given by Calviղ & enplained by David Carroll.

Answer 4

Answer 8

why not using ECLIPSE?

Answer 9

Hubert Weber I suppose you could use Eclipse as an IDE for building an Electron App in Javascript, HTML, and CSS. But I'm unaware of using Eclipse as a runtime engine for any app. I don't work with Eclipse. Does the IDE run in a framework that could be used for hosting JS based desktop GUIs?
