When Wails serves your index.html, by default, it will inject 2 script entries into the <body> tag to load /wails/ipc.js
and /wails/runtime.js. These files install the bindings and runtime respectively.
The code below shows where these are injected by default:
<html>
<head>
<title>injection example</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/main.css" />
<!-- <script src="/wails/ipc.js"></script> -->
<!-- <script src="/wails/runtime.js"></script> -->
</head>
<body data-wails-drag>
<div class="logo"></div>
<div class="result" id="result">Please enter your name below 👇</div>
<div class="input-box" id="input" data-wails-no-drag>
<input class="input" id="name" type="text" autocomplete="off" />
<button class="btn" onclick="greet()">Greet</button>
</div>
<script src="/main.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
To provide more flexibility to developers, there is a meta tag that may be used to customise this behaviour:
<meta name="wails-options" content="[options]" />
The options are as follows:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| noautoinjectruntime | Disable the autoinjection of /wails/runtime.js |
| noautoinjectipc | Disable the autoinjection of /wails/ipc.js |
| noautoinject | Disable all autoinjection of scripts |
Multiple options may be used provided they are comma separated.
This code is perfectly valid and operates the same as the autoinjection version:
<html>
<head>
<title>injection example</title>
<meta name="wails-options" content="noautoinject" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/main.css" />
</head>
<body data-wails-drag>
<div class="logo"></div>
<div class="result" id="result">Please enter your name below 👇</div>
<div class="input-box" id="input" data-wails-no-drag>
<input class="input" id="name" type="text" autocomplete="off" />
<button class="btn" onclick="greet()">Greet</button>
</div>
<script src="/wails/ipc.js"></script>
<script src="/wails/runtime.js"></script>
<script src="/main.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
