# EmbUI

Embedded WebUI Interface framework

A framework that helps to create WebUI and dynamic control elements for Arduino projects. It offers _Interface-as-a-code_ approach to segregate web frontend and MCU backend firmware development.

## Supported platforms

 - ESP32, ESP32-S2, ESP32-C3, ESP32-S3 Arduino Core

 - ESP8266 Arduino Core [branch v2.6](https://github.com/vortigont/EmbUI/tree/v2.6) only

## Features

 - asynchronous data exchange with frontend via WebSocket

 - creating html elements using DOM and [{{ mustache }}](https://mustache.github.io/) templater

 - packet based data exchange with WebUI, allows transfering large objects containing multiple elements split into chunks and using less MCU memory

 - dynamic UI elements update without page refresh

 - allows fetching data/ui objects via 3rd party AJAX calls

 - supports multiple parallel connections, WebUI updates simultaneously on all devices

 - embedded WiFi manager, AP-failover on connection lost, autoreconnection

 - full support for TimeZones, daylight saving autoswitchover

 - embedded NTP sync, NTPoDHCP support, custom NTP servers

 - OTA firmware updates via WebUI/CLI tools

 - zlib-compressed FOTA using [esp32-flashz](https://github.com/vortigont/esp32-flashz) lib

 - [mDNS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_DNS)/[ZeroConf](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-configuration_networking) publisher, discovery

 - device autodiscovery via:

    - WiFi Captive Portal detection - upon connecting to esp's WiFi AP a device/browser will show a pop-up advising to open an EmbUI's setup page

    - [Service Browser](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.druk.servicebrowser) Android

    - [SSDP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Service_Discovery_Protocol) for Windows

    - [Bonjour](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonjour_(software)) iOS/MacOS

 - self-hosted - all resources resides on LittleFS locally, no calls for CDN resources

## Projects using EmbUI

 - [FireLamp / Informer](https://github.com/vortigont/FireLamp_JeeUI) - DIY HUB75/ws2812 led panel/matrix informer, clock, cristmas light project

 - [ESPEM](https://github.com/vortigont/espem) - ESP32 energy meter for Peacfair PZEM-004

 - [InfoClock](https://github.com/vortigont/infoclock) - Clock/weather ticker based on Max72xx modules

## WebUI samples based on EmbUI framework









## Usage

To run EmbUI it is required to upload an FS image with resources to LittleFS partition.

Prebuild resources are available [as archive](https://github.com/vortigont/EmbUI/raw/main/resources/data.zip).

Unpack it into *data* folder to the root of [Platformio](https://platformio.org/) project
