# Library OPAC Desktop Application

This custom desktop application is designed for browsing the Koha OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog) for library organizations. Built on a Node.js environment, it provides a simple and focused interface to access the library's OPAC. The application ensures that users can only browse the specified OPAC URL, making it ideal for library settings.

## Features

- Full-screen browsing of the Koha OPAC
- Restriction to a single specified OPAC URL
- Configurable OPAC URL settings
- Auto-start functionality on system boot

## Requirements

- Node.js

## Installation Instructions

### 1. Clone the Repository
First, clone the repository to your local machine:

```bash
git clone git@github.com:aravindrnair05/koha_opac_desktop_app.git
cd koha_opac_desktop_app

2. Install Node.js

Make sure you have Node.js installed. If not, download and install it from the official Node.js website.

3. Configure the OPAC URL

• Step 1: Replace the OPAC URL in the index.html file: Locate the <iframe> tag and update the src attribute with your desired OPAC URL:

  <iframe id="webview" src="<<YOUR_OPACURL>>"></iframe>

• Step 2: Replace the OPAC URL in the main.js file: Find the win.loadURL() function and update it with your OPAC URL:

  win.loadURL('<<YOUR_OPACURL>>');

4. Run the Application

Once you have configured the OPAC URLs, run the autostart.bat file to launch the application:

./autostart.bat

If you want the application to auto-start with your system, place the autostart.bat file in the auto-start location of your PC. This will ensure that the application launches automatically whenever the system boots.
