HTML to go-app Converter

CLI and web app to convert HTML markup to go-app.dev's syntax.

Installation

CLI

Static binaries are also available on GitHub releases.

You can install them like so:

$ curl -L -o /tmp/html2goapp-cli https://github.com/pojntfx/html2goapp/releases/latest/download/html2goapp-cli.linux-$(uname -m)
$ sudo install /tmp/html2goapp-cli /usr/local/bin

Web App

The frontend is also available on GitHub releases in the form of a static .tar.gz archive; to deploy it, simply upload it to a CDN or copy it to a web server. For most users, this shouldn't be necessary though; thanks to @maxence-charriere's go-app package, html2goapp is a progressive web app. By simply visiting the public deployment once, it will be available for offline use whenever you need it:

Usage

Web App

To convert HTML to go-app's syntax, simply paste the HTML you want to convert into the Source Code input and click on Convert. You may set the component name, go-app package import path and target package using the options.

CLI

You can use the CLI to convert a HTML input file to go-app's syntax like so:

$ html2goapp-cli -component PF4Tabs -src example/index.html -pkg example > example/index.go

If you want to use the WebAssembly version of the CLI, use go_js_wasm_exec:

$ /usr/local/go/misc/wasm/go_js_wasm_exec out/cli/html2goapp-cli.js-wasm.wasm -component PF4Tabs -src example/index.html -pkg example > example/index.go

You can find the example index.html and index.go files in this repository.

Troubleshooting

• You get the failed to execute 'compile' on 'webassembly': incorrect response mime type. expected 'application/wasm'. error when trying to launch the web app? Please make sure that you have added the WebAssembly MIME type on your webserver.
• Elements are missing in the generated output? Make sure you only have one root HTML element and do not include the html, head or body tags in your input.
