# Attention
The ownership of project is transferred to this new organization.
Thus the `import path` for golang should now be `github.com/sciter-sdk/go-sciter`, but the package name is still `sciter`.
# Introduction
This package provides a Golang bindings of [Sciter][] using cgo.
Using go sciter you must have the platform specified `sciter dynamic library`
downloaded from [sciter-sdk][], the library itself is rather small
(under 5MB, less than 2MB when upxed) .
Most [Sciter][] API are supported, including:
* Html string/file loading
* DOM manipulation/callback/event handling
* DOM state/attribute handling
* Custom resource loading
* Sciter Behavior
* Sciter Options
* Sciter Value support
* NativeFunctor (used in sciter scripting)
And the API are organized in more or less a gopher friendly way.
Things that are not supported:
* Sciter Node API
* TIScript Engine API
# Getting Started
### At the moment only **Go 1.10** or higher is supported (issue #136).
1. Download the [sciter-sdk][]
2. Extract the sciter runtime library from [sciter-sdk][] to system PATH
The runtime libraries lives in `bin` `bin.lnx` `bin.osx` with suffix like `dll` `so` or `dylib`
* Windows: simply copying `bin\64\sciter.dll` to `c:\windows\system32` is just enough
* Linux:
- `cd sciter-sdk/bin.lnx/x64`
- `export LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD`
- `echo $PWD >> libsciter.conf`
- `sudo cp libsciter.conf /etc/ld.so.conf.d/`
- `sudo ldconfig`
- `ldconfig -p | grep sciter` should print libsciter-gtk.so location
* OSX:
- `cd sciter-sdk/bin.osx/`
- `export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD`
3. Set up GCC envrionmnet for CGO
[mingw64-gcc][] (5.2.0 and 7.2.0 are tested) is recommended for Windows users.
Under Linux gcc(4.8 or above) and gtk+-3.0 are needed.
4. `go get -x github.com/sciter-sdk/go-sciter`
5. Run the example and enjoy :)

# About Sciter
[Sciter][] is an `Embeddable HTML/CSS/script engine for modern UI development, Web designers, and developers, can reuse their experience and expertise in creating modern looking desktop applications.`
In my opinion, [Sciter][] , though not open sourced, is an great
desktop UI development envrionment using the full stack of web technologies,
which is rather small (under 5MB) especially compared to [CEF][],[Node Webkit][nw] and [Atom Electron][electron]. :)
Finally, according to [Andrew Fedoniouk][author] the author and the Sciter
`END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT` , the binary form of the [Sciter][]
dynamic libraries are totally free to use for commercial or
non-commercial applications.
# The Tailored Sciter C Headers
This binding ueses a tailored version of the sciter C Headers, which lives in directory: `include`. The included c headers are a modified version of the
[sciter-sdk][] standard headers.
It seems [Sciter][] is developed using C++, and the included headers in the
[Sciter SDK][sciter-sdk] are a mixture of C and C++, which is not
quite suitable for an easy golang binding.
I'm not much fond of C++ since I started to use Golang, so I made this
modification and hope [Andrew Fedoniouk][author] the author would provide
pure C header files for Sciter. :)
