Blink.jl Documentation

Overview

Blink.jl is the Julia wrapper around Electron. It can serve HTML content in a local window, and allows for communication between Julia and the web page. In this way, therefore, Blink can be used as a GUI toolkit for building HTML-based applications for the desktop.

Installation

To install Blink, run:

julia> Pkg.add("Blink")
julia> Blink.AtomShell.install()

This will install the package, and its dependencies: namely, Electron.
