Creating your first Fyne app
Having completed the steps in the getting started document you’re ready to build your first app. To illustrate the process we will build a simple hello world application.
A simple app starts by creating an app instance with app.New() and then opening a window with app.NewWindow(). Then a widget tree is defined that is set as the main content with SetContent() on a window. The app UI is then shown by calling ShowAndRun() on the window.
package main
import (
"fyne.io/fyne/v2/app"
"fyne.io/fyne/v2/widget"
)
func main() {
a := app.New()
w := a.NewWindow("Hello World")
w.SetContent(widget.NewLabel("Hello World!"))
w.ShowAndRun()
}
The code above can be built using the command go build . and then executed either by running the hello command or by double clicking the icon. You could also bypass the compiling step and just run the code directly using go run ..
Either approach will show a window that looks just like this:
If you prefer a light theme then just set the environment variable FYNE_THEME=light and you’ll get:
That’s all there is to getting started. To learn more you can read the full API documentation.
