Dear all,

Pharo-WebView package is now available on GitHub at
https://github.com/eftomi/Pharo-Webview.

Pharo-WebView is a package which implements a binding to webview dll
library available at https://github.com/webview/webview in Pharo.
Webview allows you to show HTML user interfaces in a native window,
inject JavaScript code and HTML content into the window. It renders HTML
originating via web requests or as a direct input.

I tested it on Windows 64 bit in Pharo 64, I plan to do that on Pharo 32
and Linux, however I don't have access to Mac, so if anybody is
interested, I'd be grateful :-)

Best wishes,
Tomaz

Thanks! It still has some quirks :-)

BTW, it should be possible to get a javascript promise as a result from
a callback to Pharo, however I always get "#ifTrue:ifFalse: was sent to
nil" in VMCallbackContext64 if I actually do the callback which has a
signature with a pointer as a return value, like

FFICallback
signature: #(char * (const char * seq, const char * req))
block: [ :seq :req | ... ]

or

FFICallback
signature: #(String (const char * seq, const char * req))
block: [ :seq :req | ... ]

I checked the FFICallback tests and there are no examples of pointer
return values. Is this possible?

Best wishes,
Tomaz

Seems cool but I can't figure out how to build it as a library on MacOS.

A bit of progress :-) I compiled a shared library libwebview.so on Ubuntu with:

g++ webview.c -fPIC -shared -o libwebview.so `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0 webkit2gtk-4.0`

Before that, the gtk and webkit2 dev libraries should be installed with:

sudo apt install -y libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev libgtk-3-dev

And if you don’t have gcc tools:

sudo apt install build-essential

I’ll see if I can figure it out for MacOS too.

It appears that in Linux it is necessary to run the webview in separate thread, otherwise Pharo image gets blocked, so I have to slightly change the architecture (with threaded FFI as astares pointed out on Discord #ffi).

Thanks Tomaz,

You may have hit a bug/unimplemented feature.
Would you mind opening an issue with some more details? What Pharo version, what backend, an example with the C counterpart maybe?
Everything that would help us quickly build a test is super useful to work in a fix (or even, a written test would be better than any explanation ;)).

Otherwise, with the coming holidays this may get lost.
