Webview

A webview GUI based on zserge/webview

Requirements

• golang
• Cocoa/WebKit on macOS, gtk-webkit2 on Linux and MSHTML (IE10/11) on Windows.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'webview'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install webview

Usage

app = Webview::App.new
app.open('http://localhost:3000?foo=bar')

at_exit { app.close }
begin
  app.join
rescue Interrupt
  app.close
end

Allow debug page

Webview::App.new(debug: true).open('http://example.com')

All options

Webview::App.new(title: 'ttt', width: 600, height: 400, resizable: true, debug: true)

Run with your backend.

app = Webview::App.new
backend = Thread.new { `rails s` }
app.open('http://localhost:3000')

at_exit { app.close }
begin
  app.join
rescue Interrupt
  app.close
  backend.kill
end

RPC with Javascript

window.rpc_cb = function(type, value, user_data) {
  consloe.log(type, value, user_data)
}

var type = 'openfile'
window.external.invoke(type + ',' + 'my_data_id');
// Open a dialog. and call rpc_cb('openfile', 'selected_file_path', "my_data_id") after user choice file.

window.external.invoke('invalid_type' + ',' + 'my_data');
// if got a error, will call rpc_cb('error', 'invalid_type', 'my_data')

Javascript RPCs

• close: close this app window, no callback
• fullscreen: no callback
• unfullscreen: no callback
• openfile: Open a dialog, and call rpc_cb('openfile', path, user_data)
• opendir: Open a dialog, and call rpc_cb('opendir', path, user_data)
• savefile: Open a dialog, and call rpc_cb('savefile', path, user_data)

GUI Application

If we build ruby binary for different systems, then we can public our App for normal user

Some ways:

• Traveling Ruby. I have made a version to support ruby 2.6.3 here for OSX and Linux
• Ruby Packer

When I finish my application, I will make a gem of the framework.

TODO

Test golang code by golang

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
