Electrobun Core

You can build cross-platform desktop apps with Bun by using a framework that manages the main process lifecycle and native webviews. This approach handles window creation, menus, and RPC communication between the Bun runtime and UI renderers.

Yes, native webviews support UI development for macOS, Windows, and Linux from a single codebase. The framework manages renderer processes and allows you to implement UI elements like BrowserWindow and ApplicationMenu seamlessly.

Managing application lifecycle and window creation in a Bun desktop application involves using built-in process management features. The framework handles RPC communication between the Bun runtime and webview renderers to coordinate BrowserWindow and BrowserView elements.

Yes, the desktop application framework supports custom tray interactions and menus. You can easily implement ApplicationMenu and Tray UI components to create a native-feeling experience for your local-first applications.

You configure build options and release settings for a Bun desktop app by defining them within a dedicated electrobun.config.ts file. This configuration file manages app settings and includes native build and release tooling.

The best way to handle RPC communication between a Bun runtime and webview renderers is through dedicated process management. This framework facilitates seamless communication to synchronize application state and UI updates across native or CEF renderers.
