Convert HTML5 Canvas + Javascript Application into an Executable

Question

Is there a way to run html5/js apps/games into an executable rather than a browser? I've looked into node webkit but doesn't seem like it suits my ambition.

Also tried Electron . but doesn't seem it supports canvas?

I remember a few years back I was able to run one of my canvas applications with an executable made from Visual Studio using I think Basic? I faintly recall.

Answer 1

Electron supports Canvas tags.

Clone the Quick Start repository

$ git clone https://github.com/ehartford/electron-quick-start

Go into the repository

$ cd electron-quick-start

Install the dependencies and run

$ npm install && npm start

Use electron packager to create a .exe
