Description
Goal:
I would like an option to use an embedded browser tab (native=False) versus native mode (native=True) in nicegui
Current status
Right now our main.py is using an environment variable to determine if we ui.run() nicegui with reload of True/False.
We do that with something like this:
default_reload = not is_frozen and os.getenv("KYMFLOW_GUI_RELOAD", "1") == "1"I want to add a feature to toggle native True/False in a similar way.
Proposed plan
I would like to do the same for an option to show native with True/False.
Right now we have this:
_native = False # when True, runs in native window (Mac only)
# reload = False
ui.run(
port=DEFAULT_PORT, reload=reload, native=_native, storage_secret=STORAGE_SECRET
)Using an environment variable is fine.
I would like it to default to native=False for debugging
When we build the app in a github workflow I would like to always use native=True.
Looking at our github workflow that builds the app in release.yml, we have this
- name: Build macOS app with nicegui-pack
env:
KYMFLOW_GUI_RELOAD: "0"
run: |
nicegui-pack \
--windowed \
--name "KymFlow" \
--icon "pyinstaller/macos/kymflow.icns" \
src/kymflow_gui/main.py
I guess the solution would expand this to use something like
KYMFLOW_GUI_NATIVE: "1"
Conclusion
Let me know what you think. Do not guess and ask for clarification. Make changes minimal. We are basically adding an environment variable to toggle nicegui ui.run native option to True/False.
