BoxLang Desktop Runtime (Electron + MiniServer)

Overview

This skill applies to desktop applications that embed BoxLang using Electron and run a local BoxLang MiniServer process.

Core model:

• Electron owns desktop lifecycle (window, tray, menu, shortcuts).
• A local MiniServer process serves the BoxLang app.
• The BrowserWindow loads the local MiniServer URL.
• Frontend assets are served via Vite in development and built artifacts in production.

This pattern gives a desktop UX without replacing BoxLang with another backend stack.
