High level rust bindings for [Ultralight]. Alternative for the abandoned [`rust-ul`].
[Ultralight] is a lightweight, high-performance HTML rendering engine designed for applications that require a high degree of customization. Using GPU-accelerated HTML rendering, it's a great fit for rendering user interfaces in games, and other applications.
Tested on Windows and Linux.
> The API currently resembles the original C++ API for simplicity, and probably it will be changed to be more `rust` idiomatic.
> Though it shouldn't affect older versions because of [`semver`](https://semver.org/).
>
> See the [CHANGELOG](./CHANGELOG.md) for more information.
## Extra files
You need to include `resources` folder in the execution directory.
You can find the resources folder in the [Ultralight SDK]
## Examples
To see how this library is used, please check the examples in the [`examples`](./examples/) directory.
```sh
cargo run --example=basic_app
```
> For now, must be run from the root of the project, as it needs to find the `resources` folder in the `examples` directory.
## 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.
