I’m a back-end developer who wants to play with some desktop/front-end development.
I found a C++ library and started thinking what would be the best way to wrap this library in a way so that I can create a GUI in either C# or in Typescript.
What would you recommend?
Note: I’m trying to keep the question relatively vague because I want to get some ideas to try instead of finding the solution to my specific problem. I want to learn more about how others would approach such a problem. But I can provide more details, if necessary.
Depending on where you want your app to run, QT framework/creator has pretty powerful C++ GUI capabilities. The biggest benefit, I thought, is a lot of open source projects use it (e.g. Bitcoin and forks) meaning there are a lot of real examples out there rather than only docs.
The other option, which is more aligned with separate frontend/backend and WebApps, is simply have a basic server of some type wrapping the dll functionality you want to use as endpoints and communicate over ReST API.
