rust-webview

============

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

This crate uses C bindings from [zserge/webview](1) 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

```rust

extern crate webview;

use webview::{Content, WebView};

fn main() {

    let view = WebView::new(

        "My awesome title",                     // The title of the window

        Content::Html("
Hello world!
"), // The content to display

        200,                                    // Width

        100,                                    // Height

        false,                                  // Resizable?

        false,                                  // Debugable?

    ).unwrap();


    // Starts the event loop

    view.join();

}

```
