# 1. Run your application.
# https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/wiki/How-to-run-apps


# Compress your application including index.html and package.json into a zip archive and rename it to app.nw
./nw path_to_app.nw

# Or run the directory including your application
./nw path_to_app_dir

# Only on Mac OSX, you can also use nw like this. (assuming it's installed to the Applications directory)
open -n -a node-webkit "/home/path/to/app"


# 2. Package your application.
# https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/wiki/How-to-package-and-distribute-your-apps


# Windows: Making an executable file out of a .nw file.
copy /b nw.exe+app.nw app.exe 

# Linux: Making an executable file out of a .nw file.
cat /usr/bin/nw app.nw > app && chmod +x app

# Max OSX: Making an executable file out of a .nw file.

# 3. Command Lines Switches.
# https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/wiki/Command-line-switches#--urlwebsite-url


./nw path_to_app_dir --url="website-url"  # Directly open "website-url".
./nw path_to_app_dir --no-toolbar         # Force disabling toolbar.
./nw path_to_app_dir --data-path          # Override the default data path (where cookies and localStorage etc. resides).


# 4. Compile to Native Code and Protect JavaScript Source Code.
# https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/wiki/Protect-JavaScript-source-code-with-v8-snapshot


nwsnapshot --extra_code source.js snapshot.bin  # JS source code is compiled to native code (aka. 'snapshot').

# Then, add the following field to package.json: "snapshot" : "snapshot.bin"
