This PR transforms the empty repository into a fully-featured Wails v3 service library starter project with all the essential components needed for professional Wails application development.

What's Included

📦 Core Wails v3 Service

🧪 Testing Infrastructure

• core_test.go: Comprehensive test suite achieving 100% code coverage
• Table-driven tests for maintainability
• Benchmark tests for performance tracking
• Example tests that double as documentation
• Race condition detection enabled

• Can be run with make example (CLI) or make example-ui (full Wails app)

🛠️ Development Tools

• Makefile: Automation for common development tasks
  • Build, test, coverage, benchmarking
  • Code formatting and static analysis
  • Linting with golangci-lint
  • Separate CLI and UI example execution
• .golangci.yml: Linter configuration with sensible defaults
• .gitignore: Go-specific patterns to keep repository clean

🔄 CI/CD Pipeline

• .github/workflows/ci.yml: Automated testing workflow
  • Tests on Go versions 1.19, 1.20, 1.21, and 1.22
  • Automated linting with golangci-lint
  • Code coverage reporting to Codecov
  • CLI example execution verification
  • Security-hardened with explicit permissions

📚 Documentation

• README.md: Comprehensive project documentation
  • Complete workflow for creating new Wails apps with wails3 init
  • Wails v3 service integration instructions
  • Frontend calling examples using wails.Call.ByName()
  • Installation instructions including Wails CLI
  • Usage examples and API reference
  • Development guidelines
  • Contributing guide
  • Available commands and targets

Quality Metrics

• ✅ 100% test coverage on service code
• ✅ All tests passing with race detection
• ✅ Passes go vet static analysis
• ✅ Formatted with go fmt
• ✅ No security vulnerabilities (CodeQL verified)
• ✅ GitHub Actions workflows follow security best practices

Usage

Once merged, developers can integrate this service into any Wails v3 application:

Creating a New Wails Application

# Install Wails v3 CLI
go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v3/cmd/wails3@v3.0.0-alpha.36

# Create a new Wails application
wails3 init -n myfirstapp

# Navigate to your new project
cd myfirstapp

# Add the Core service library
go get github.com/Snider/Core

Backend Integration

import (
    "github.com/Snider/Core"
    "github.com/wailsapp/wails/v3/pkg/application"
)

func main() {
    coreService := core.NewCoreService()
    
    app := application.New(application.Options{
        Services: []application.Service{
            application.NewService(coreService),
        },
    })
    
    // ... configure and run your app
}

Frontend Calling

// Get version
const version = await wails.Call.ByName('github.com.Snider.Core.GetVersion');

// Greet user
const greeting = await wails.Call.ByName('github.com.Snider.Core.Greet', 'World');

// Perform calculations
const result = await wails.Call.ByName('github.com.Snider.Core.Calculate', 'add', 10, 20);

Development

The Makefile provides convenient commands:

make build          # Build the project
make test           # Run tests
make test-coverage  # Generate coverage report
make example        # Run CLI demo
make example-ui     # Run Wails UI application
make lint           # Run linter

This starter project provides a solid foundation that follows Wails v3 and Go community standards and best practices, ready for immediate development of Wails services.

@copilot can you update the lib to be for wails alpha version wails3 go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v3/cmd/wails3@v3.0.0-alpha.36

[Snider]

@copilot you can create a project with: wails3 init -n myfirstapp

[Copilot]

@copilot can you update the lib to be for wails alpha version wails3 go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v3/cmd/wails3@v3.0.0-alpha.36

Updated the library to be a Wails v3 service library (commit faf6d98).

Changes made:

• ✅ Added Wails v3 dependency (v3.0.0-alpha.36)
• ✅ Transformed to Wails v3 CoreService with proper service interface
• ✅ Added ServiceName() method returning "github.com/Snider/Core"
• ✅ All methods can be called from frontend via wails.Call.ByName()
• ✅ Created CLI demo (examples/demo.go) and full UI example (examples/main.go)
• ✅ Added interactive HTML frontend for service demonstration
• ✅ Updated README with Wails v3 integration instructions
• ✅ Maintained 100% test coverage

Usage:

coreService := core.NewCoreService()
app := application.New(application.Options{
    Services: []application.Service{
        application.NewService(coreService),
    },
})

Run make example for CLI demo or make example-ui for full Wails app.

[Copilot]

@copilot you can create a project with: wails3 init -n myfirstapp

Added a section to the README showing how to create a new Wails app using wails3 init -n myfirstapp (commit df4b387).

The documentation now includes a complete workflow:

1. Install Wails v3 CLI
2. Create new app with wails3 init
3. Add this service library with go get
4. Integrate the service into your app
