Crate browser_window[−][src]
Expand description
Browser Window is a Rust crate that allows you to utilize a browser engine to build graphical interfaces. The idea is similar to Electron.js. You create the interface with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Then, you can communicate information from JavaScript back to Rust, and from the other way around.
The only supported browser engine right now is Chromium’s Blink. Therefore, the Chromium Embedding Framework (CEF) is used as a dependency. To get CEF set up properly, take a look here. Moreover, because getting CEF to work properly is not always straightforward, here is a list of common issues you may run in to, and their solutions.
