webbrowser
webbrowser provides a simple API for opening web pages on your default browser. It's inspired on Python's webbrowser package but lacks some of its features (open new window).
It just opens a webpage, most browsers will open it on a new tab.
Installation
As simple as: go get -u github.com/toqueteos/webbrowser
Usage
package main
import "github.com/toqueteos/webbrowser"
func main() {
webbrowser.Open("http://golang.org")
}
That's it!
Already disliking it?
No problem! There's alternative libraries that may be better to your needs:
- https://github.com/pkg/browser, it does what webbrowser does and more!
- https://github.com/skratchdot/open-golang, it even provides a
xdg-open
implementation in case you don't have it!
Crossplatform support
The package is guaranteed to work on windows
, linux
and darwin
. It also has default support for freebsd
, openbsd
and netbsd
but these three have not been tested yet (that I'm aware of).
License
It is licensed under the MIT open source license, please see the [LICENSE.md] file for more information.
Thanks...
Miki Tebeka wrote a nicer version that wasn't on godoc.org when I did this, check it out!.
