FAQPage Schema
How do I build cross-platform desktop apps with Bun and TypeScript?▼

Build cross-platform desktop apps with Bun and TypeScript by using native OS webviews for the UI and a Bun runtime for the main process. This approach abstracts complex native integrations to create fast, small, and efficient applications.

How do I set up type-safe RPC communication between a main process and webview?▼

Type-safe bidirectional RPC between a main process and webview is implemented to enable seamless interaction. This mechanism allows the webview UI to securely communicate with the native Bun backend without manual serialization.

Can I use native UI elements like system tray icons and context menus in a Bun desktop app?▼

Yes, native UI elements including application menus, context menus, and system tray icons can be integrated into a Bun desktop app. This provides a native user experience alongside the webview-based custom UI.

What is the best way to distribute and auto-update desktop applications built with webviews?▼

Distribute and auto-update desktop applications built with webviews by configuring packaging, code signing, and auto-update mechanisms. This ensures seamless deployment across Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Does the Electrobun skill provide project scaffolding for cross-platform desktop development?▼

Yes, the Electrobun skill provides project scaffolding to quickly initialize new cross-platform desktop applications. You can start development using various templates like react-tailwind-vite.
