NW.js is an app runtime based on Chromium
and node.js
. You can
write native apps in HTML and JavaScript with NW.js. It also lets you
call Node.js modules directly from the DOM and enables a new way of writing
native applications with all Web technologies.
It was created in the Intel Open Source Technology Center.

Create index.html
:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello World!</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
We are using node.js <script>document.write(process.version)</script>.
</body>
</html>
Create package.json
:
{
"name": "nw-demo",
"version": "0.0.1",
"main": "index.html"
}
Run:
$ /path/to/nw . (suppose the current directory contains 'package.json')
Note: on Windows, you can drag the folder containing package.json
to nw.exe
to open it.
Note: on OSX, the executable binary is in a hidden directory within the .app file. To run node-webkit on OSX, type:
/path/to/nwjs.app/Contents/MacOS/nwjs .
(suppose the current directory contains 'package.json')

NOTE: Links to the old google group (e.g. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/node-webkit/doRWZ07LgWQ/4fheV8FF8zsJ
) that are no more working can be fixed by replacing node-webkit
with nwjs-general
(e.g https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/nwjs-general/doRWZ07LgWQ/4fheV8FF8zsJ
).
Issues are being tracked here on GitHub.
