Add NativePHP to a new or existing project

Hot reloading is enabled, so changes are reflected in the app immediately during development.

NativePHP gives access to system features, like Touch ID on Mac

Access the clipboard, including text or images.

You can also access printers and Bluetooth devices connected to the machine.

You can use whatever you want - Livewire, Inertia, Blade. It just works.

@shane @marcelpociot one thing i haven't seen yet cross my timeline is what the release system is like.

are we shipping phars or exes?

marcelpociot, 6 months ago

@bobmagicii @shane the result will be exe files, DMGs or AppImage files.
Be aware though that your php source code gets shipped along with your app

@marcelpociot @shane yeah thats cool. hangup here has always been you cant justify putting all the work into a client side app in php, because normal people will cry at the idea of installing php and figuring out how to get it to execute a phar or php on their os.

im not sure why php doesn't have an installer like python to handle that 🤣
