How do I compile a html javascript package into a single, static binary? - eviltoast

Title. I’m trying to compile this but I can’t seem to do so with node.js.

Thanks in advance.

    You could do it pretty easily in Go.

    Basically just use embedfs to add your javascript and HTML.

    https://pkg.go.dev/embed

    Here’s a complete working example with a http server from that page:

    package main
    
    import (
    	"embed"
    	"log"
    	"net/http"
    )
    
    //go:embed internal/embedtest/testdata/*.txt
    var content embed.FS
    
    func main() {
    	mutex := http.NewServeMux()
    	mutex.Handle("/", http.FileServer(http.FS(content)))
    	err := http.ListenAndServe(":8080", mutex)
    	if err != nil {
    		log.Fatal(err)
    	}
    }

      I see you want a screen saver and this just runs an app to view in your browser. There are other methods but they are a bit trickier. It’s not too hard to add an embedded interpreter but you’d probably have to do some porting to get it drawing to a native canvas.
