V-WebUI

Features · Installation · Usage · Documentation · WebUI

Use any web browser or WebView as GUI.
With V in the backend and modern web technologies in the frontend.

Features

• Parent library written in pure C
• Fully Independent (No need for any third-party runtimes)
• Lightweight ~200 Kb & Small memory footprint
• Fast binary communication protocol between WebUI and the browser (Instead of JSON)
• Multi-platform & Multi-Browser
• Using private profile for safety

Installation

v install https://github.com/webui-dev/v-webui

Usage

Note

It is recommended to use GCC or Clang to compile a WebUI V program. TCC is currently not working due to missing header files. E.g.:

Example

import vwebui as ui

const html = '

Welcome to WebUI!

fn greet(e &ui.Event) string { name := e.get_argstring or { panic('expected an argument') } println('${name} has reached the backend!') return 'Hello ${name} 🐇' }

fn main() { mut w := ui.new_window() w.bind('greet', greet) w.show(html)! ui.wait() }

Find more examples in the examples/ directory.

Documentation

• Online Documentation (WIP)

Tip

Until our online documentation is finished, you can refer to src/lib.v or use V's built-in v doc -comments vwebui in the terminal for the latest overview of exported functions.

• To use WebUI's debug build in your V-WebUI application, add the -d debug flag. E.g.:
  v -d webui_log run examples/call_v_from_js.v
• Run tests locally:
  VJOBS=1 v -stats test tests/
