web-view examples

minimal

Just displays the wikipedia homepage.

pageload

Loads a custom url-encoded html page (hello world).

timer

Uses two-way communication with the web app to render the state of a timer and reset the timer on the click of a button. Shows basic usage of userdata and shared state between threads.

todo

Uses picodom.js to render a basic Todo App. Demonstrates how to embed the frontend into the Rust executable and how to use userdata to store app state.

todo-purescript

This is a port of the todo example to PureScript. To be able to build this, first install purescript and bundling tools:

$ npm install -g purescript pulp psc-package parcel-bundler inline-assets

Next, install the dependencies:

$ psc-package update

Now build the frontend and bundle it into dist/bundle.html:

$ npm run prod

Finally use cargo to build the rust executable, which includes bundle.html using include_str!().

elm-counter

(This assumes you're using Elm 0.19.0)

$ npm install -g elm
$ cd elm-counter
$ elm make --optimize src/Main.elm
$ cargo run --example elm-counter

actix

Uses rust-embed and actix-web to embed files directly in binary and serve them to web-view.

Note: For some reason (at least on Windows), if I try to cargo run the examples directly, they don't show the window, but it works with cargo build --example <name> && target\debug\examples\<name>
