Facefull bridge library
1.2.0
Facefull bridge is a communication system which connects application native backend (C++/Java/etc...) and Facefull user interface (runs through webview component).
This library allows you to use Facefull to create a user interface for native desktop applications using the webview component. In native mode you can use built-in event system to communicate with your native desktop application C++ backend.
This library contains Facefull bridge interface and bridge implementation for wxWidgets (webview/webkit), Qt5 (webkit) and Electron frameworks.
You can use predefined implementations or create your own.
Available bridge modes:
- `Native mode`. `Facefull UI` <---> `WebView component` <---> `native code` in one native app.
- `Electron mode`. `Facefull UI` <---> `Electron app` <---> `native app`. In this mode, Facefull frontend communicates with Electron backend and native C++ app. The native application runs an HTTP server and provides communication between the native C++ code and Facefull frontend via the bridge system.
- `Web mode`. `Facefull UI` <---> `browser` <---> `native app / server`. In this mode, the backend application runs an HTTP server and provides communication between the native C++ code and Facefull frontend via the bridge system.
