README

go-webview2

This is a proof of concept for embedding Webview2 into Go without CGo. It is based on webview/webview and provides a compatible API.

Notice

Because this version doesn't currently have an EdgeHTML fallback, it will not work unless you have a Webview2 runtime installed. In addition, it requires the Webview2Loader DLL in order to function. Adding an EdgeHTML fallback should be technically possible but will likely require much worse hacks since the API is not strictly COM to my knowledge.

Demo

For now, you'll need to install the Webview2 runtime, as it does not ship with Windows.

WebView2 runtime

After that, you should be able to run go-webview2 directly:

go run github.com/jchv/go-webview2/cmd/demo

This will use go-winloader to load an embedded copy of WebView2Loader.dll.

If this does not work, please try running from a directory that has an appropriate copy of WebView2Loader.dll for your GOARCH. If that worked, please file a bug so we can figure out what's wrong with go-winloader :)

Types

type Hint

type Hint int

Hint is used to configure window sizing and resizing behavior.

const (
	// HintNone specifies that width and height are default size
	HintNone Hint = iota

	// HintFixed specifies that window size can not be changed by a user
	HintFixed

	// HintMin specifies that width and height are minimum bounds
	HintMin

	// HintMax specifies that width and height are maximum bounds
	HintMax
)

type WebView

type WebView interface {

	// Run runs the main loop until it's terminated. After this function exits -
	// you must destroy the webview.
	Run()

	// Terminate stops the main loop. It is safe to call this function from
	// a background thread.
	Terminate()

	// Dispatch posts a function to be executed on the main thread. You normally
	// do not need to call this function, unless you want to tweak the native
	// window.
	Dispatch(f func())

	// Destroy destroys a webview and closes the native window.
	Destroy()

	// Window returns a native window handle pointer. When using GTK backend the
	// pointer is GtkWindow pointer, when using Cocoa backend the pointer is
	// NSWindow pointer, when using Win32 backend the pointer is HWND pointer.
	Window() unsafe.Pointer

	// SetTitle updates the title of the native window. Must be called from the UI
	// thread.
	SetTitle(title string)

	// SetSize updates native window size. See Hint constants.
	SetSize(w int, h int, hint Hint)

	// Navigate navigates webview to the given URL. URL may be a data URI, i.e.
	// "data:text/text,<html>...</html>". It is often ok not to url-encode it
	// properly, webview will re-encode it for you.
	Navigate(url string)

	// Init injects JavaScript code at the initialization of the new page. Every
	// time the webview will open a the new page - this initialization code will
	// be executed. It is guaranteed that code is executed before window.onload.
	Init(js string)

	// Eval evaluates arbitrary JavaScript code. Evaluation happens asynchronously,
	// also the result of the expression is ignored. Use RPC bindings if you want
	// to receive notifications about the results of the evaluation.
	Eval(js string)

	// Bind binds a callback function so that it will appear under the given name
	// as a global JavaScript function. Internally it uses webview_init().
	// Callback receives a request string and a user-provided argument pointer.
	// Request string is a JSON array of all the arguments passed to the
	// JavaScript function.
	//
	// f must be a function
	// f must return either value and error or just error
	Bind(name string, f interface{}) error
}

WebView is the interface for the webview.
