Pglet client for Bash

Pglet ("piglet") is a rich user interface (UI) framework for scripts written in PowerShell or any other language. Pglet renders web UI, so you can easily build web apps with Bash. Knowledge of HTML/CSS/JavaScript is not required as you build UI with controls. Pglet controls are built with Fluent UI React to ensure your programs look cool and professional.

Requirements

  • Bash, Zsh on Linux or macOS. Windows is not supported.

Installation

Download pglet.sh helper script from our website:

curl -O https://pglet.io/pglet.sh

Hello, world!

Create hello.sh with the following content:

. pglet.sh

pglet_page
pglet_send "add text value='Hello, world!'"

Run sh hello.psh and in a new browser window you'll get:

Sample app in a browser

Here is a local page served by an instance of Pglet server started in the background on your computer.

Make it web

Add PGLET_WEB=true before pglet_page call:

. pglet.sh

PGLET_WEB=true pglet_page
pglet_send "add text value='Hello, world!'"

This time page will be created on Pglet hosted service.
