Service: runtime

The runtime service provides the main entry point for the application and a helper structure for services to interact with the Core.

Types

type Runtime

Runtime is the top-level container that holds the Core instance and the Wails application. It serves as the bridge between Wails and the Core framework.

type Runtime struct {
    // Core is the central service manager
    Core *Core
    // app is the Wails application instance
    app  *application.App
}

type ServiceRuntime[T any]

ServiceRuntime is a generic helper struct designed to be embedded in service implementations. It provides easy access to the Core and service-specific options.

type ServiceRuntime[T any] struct {
    core *Core
    opts T
}

type ServiceFactory

ServiceFactory is a function type that creates a service instance.

type ServiceFactory func() (any, error)

Functions

func NewRuntime(app *application.App) (*Runtime, error)

NewRuntime creates and wires together all application services using default settings. It is the standard way to initialize the runtime.

func NewWithFactories(app *application.App, factories map[string]ServiceFactory) (*Runtime, error)

NewWithFactories creates a new Runtime instance using a provided map of service factories. This allows for flexible, dynamic service registration.

func NewServiceRuntime[T any](c *Core, opts T) *ServiceRuntime[T]

NewServiceRuntime creates a new ServiceRuntime instance. This is typically used in a service's factory or constructor.

Methods

func (r *Runtime) ServiceName() string

ServiceName returns the name of the service ("Core"). This is used by Wails for service identification.

func (r *Runtime) ServiceStartup(ctx context.Context, options application.ServiceOptions)

ServiceStartup delegates the startup lifecycle event to the underlying Core, which in turn initializes all registered services.

func (r *Runtime) ServiceShutdown(ctx context.Context)

ServiceShutdown delegates the shutdown lifecycle event to the underlying Core.

func (r *ServiceRuntime[T]) Core() *Core

Core returns the central Core instance, giving the service access to other services and features.

func (r *ServiceRuntime[T]) Config() Config

Config returns the registered Config service from the Core. It is a convenience method for accessing configuration.
