WndKit

Native Windows desktop apps in Node.js. No bloat. Just Win32 APIs.

const { Window, Button, Label, Application } = require("wndkit");

const win = new Window("Hello", 400, 200);
const label = new Label(win, "Click the button", 50, 50, 300, 30);
const button = new Button(win, "Click Me", 150, 100, 100, 30);

button.on("click", () => (label.text = "Clicked!"));

win.show();
Application.run();

Requirements:

• Windows 10/11
• Node.js 20+

Works out of the box on x64. Other architectures compile automatically on install.

Window

const win = new Window(title, width, height);
win.title = "New Title"; // read/write
win.size = { width, height }; // read/write
win.position = { x, y }; // read/write
win.show();
win.hide();
win.on("close", callback);

Button

const btn = new Button(parent, text, x, y, width, height);
btn.text = "New Text"; // read/write
btn.on("click", callback);

Label

const lbl = new Label(parent, text, x, y, width, height);
lbl.text = "New Text"; // read/write

TextBox

const txt = new TextBox(parent, text, x, y, width, height);
txt.text = "Hello"; // read/write
txt.multiline = true; // read/write

CheckBox

const chk = new CheckBox(parent, text, x, y, width, height);
chk.checked = true; // read/write
chk.on("click", callback);

Application

Application.run(); // Start message loop (required)
