webui

This is a basic example of how to use WebUI with React to generate a portable single executable program. WebUI will run the internal web server and use any installed web browser as GUI to show the React UI.

A simple Python script vfs.py is used to generate vfs.h to embed the whole react's build folder into the portable single executable program.

How to use it?

Run script build_react to re-build the React project and compile the C file

How to create a React WebUI project from scratch?

Run npx create-react-app my-react-app to create a React app using NPM
Add <script src="webui.js"></script> into public/index.html to connect UI with the backend
Run python vfs.py "./my-react-app/build" "vfs.h" to embed the build folder
Now, use any C compiler to compile main.c into a portable executable program
