Iced_webview

A library to embed Web views in iced applications

This library supports

• Ultralight/Webkit — full browser engine with JS and navigation (license)
• litehtml — lightweight CPU-based HTML/CSS rendering, no JS or navigation (good for static content like emails)

Compatibility

examples:

examples/embedded_webview

A simple example to showcase an embedded webview (uses the basic webview)

cargo run --example embedded_webview --features ultralight-resources
# or with litehtml
cargo run --example embedded_webview --no-default-features --features litehtml

examples/multi_webview

A more advanced example that uses the advanced webview module and has two simultaneous webviews open

cargo run --example multi_webview --features ultralight-resources

examples/email

Renders a table-based marketing email using litehtml — demonstrates static HTML rendering without a full browser engine

cargo run --example email --features litehtml

Extra files (Resources)

Ultralight requires runtime resources. (cacert.pem, icudt67l.dat)

You can either set the path to them with the ULTRALIGHT_RESOURCES_DIR env. This varible can also be set in .cargo/config.toml. The resouces direcory can be downloaded from Ultralight SDK

Or Rust will do its best symlink the directory with --features ultralight-resources. If this fails please use ULTRALIGHT_RESOURCES_DIR

Deployment

The samples compiled rely on dynamic libraries provided by Ultralight:

• libUltralightCore.so/UltralightCore.dll
• libUltralight.so/Ultralight.dll
• libWebCore.so/WebCore.dll
• libAppCore.so/AppCore.dll

These can be downloaded from the Ultralight SDK.

Rust will download them during build as well, but are kept inside the target directory.
