browserenv

Browserenv allows URLs and files to be opened in a local web browser. It is a drop-in replacement for the github.com/pkg/browser package.

If the BROWSER environment variable is set, the input URL will be opened using the command it defines rather than the system's default web browser. When BROWSER is not defined, github.com/pkg/browser is used.

Examples

Set BROWSER to a command that opens a URL. The URL is appended as an argument to the command:

BROWSER="open -a Firefox"

If %s is included in the command, it is replaced with the URL:

BROWSER="open -a Firefox '%s'"

Multiple commands can be specified, delimited by colons. The commands will be tried from left to right, stopping when a command exits with a 0 exit code.

BROWSER="w3m '%s':open -a Firefox"

A sample program:

package main

import (
	"strings"

	"github.com/teddywing/browserenv"
)

func main() {
	browserenv.OpenFile("file.gif")

	browserenv.OpenReader(strings.NewReader("Reader content"))

	browserenv.OpenURL("https://duckduckgo.com")
}
