rust-webview

⚠️ This project is a work in progress. Very alpha. Really.

This crate uses C bindings from zserge/webview to display a Rust controllable webview for rendering modern UI interfaces using web technology. Included features:

  • Render HTML5, JavaScript and CSS in a full-fledged browser environment
  • Call Rust from JavaScript and JavaScript from Rust
  • Cross-platform: uses WebKit (Cocoa) on macOS, WebKit (GTK) on Linux and MSHTML on Windows
  • Controllable window properties: title, width, height and fullscreen
  • Compile to a single small binary: hello_world example is less than 200KB when packed
  • Controllable dialogs: alerts (info, warning, error), open and save files
  • Embeddable content for offline usage
  • Can render arbitrary HTML or a full external website
  • Think about it as an Electron app but 121MB smaller

Example

extern crate webview;

use webview::{Content, WebView};

fn main() {
    let view = WebView::new(
        "My awesome title",                     // The title of the window
        Content::Html("<h1>Hello world!</h1>"), // The content to display
        200,                                    // Width
        100,                                    // Height
        false,                                  // Resizable?
        false,                                  // Debugable?
    ).unwrap();

    // Starts the event loop
    view.join();
}
