Description

Describe the problem I have a Django app to help manage items and sales in a store and want to present it as a desktop app although it's web behind the scenes. Is it possible to use the Django application instead of bottle for eel?

I would also want to enable the back and reload buttons on the browser (chrome), how do I do that?

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 10
  • Browser: Chrome
  • Version: 94.0.4606.71

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate Eel's source code to understand how it integrates with Bottle (the default backend) and explore replacing it with Django's WSGI application. Look into Eel's start() function and how it creates the web server. For navigation buttons, check Eel's browser options or JavaScript hooks to enable back/reload functionality.
