Javascript to exe

Mornincupofhate · July 15, 2016

Never really wanted to touch C or C++ because I just don't have the attention span for it.

Anyone know if it's possible to convert javascript and or html into an executable?

Not that I know of. Regardless, it would most likely be a little more than a "conversion" - it would have to wrap it and add extra code in order to function or do anything. Reason being, unlike C/C++, Javascript doesn't create programs that control the computer directly - it is run in/by other applications like your web browser.

What are you trying to do? It sounds to me like you want to make a desktop app with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. If that is the case, check out Electron.

Atom and Slack are, basically, HTML/JS applications (using Electron). However, you really shouldn't do that. The performance is horrible.

You can also have a look at HTA's.

You can pack any HTML/Javascript/VBS into an exe.

For creating the HTA's, I recommend HTAEdit. It allows you to convert your HTML/Javascript directly into an exe. The trial version should be enough to get started.
