📦 Installation

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
bevy = "0.16"
bevy_cef = "0.1.0"

Platform Requirements

On macOS, using CEF typically requires creating an app bundle. For development, this library provides a debug feature flag. When enabled, it installs a debug renderer process and the CEF framework locally so the app can run standalone.

[!NOTE] Use this feature only during development; for releases, bundle the renderer process and the CEF framework inside the app.

Manual Installation(macOS)

> cargo install export-cef-dir
> export-cef-dir --force $HOME/.local/share/cef
> cargo install bevy_cef_debug_render_process

Examples

See examples/.

On macOS, you need to enable debug feature enabled:

cargo run --example simple --features debug
