Aloe WebBrowser

Aloe WebBrowser is a flexible and extensible Rust crate designed to embed a web browsing component within applications across multiple platforms. By leveraging platform-specific web technologies, it provides an abstraction over diverse underlying web engines such as WebKit on Mac, iOS, and Linux, and options between Internet Explorer and Microsoft WebView2 on Windows.

Features

• Cross-Platform Web Engine Support: Supports WebKit on macOS, Linux, and iOS, and options for either IE or WebView2 on Windows platforms with a conditional compilation feature, ALOE_USE_WIN_WEBVIEW2.
• Event Hooking: Implements a robust interface allowing hooking into various web events, such as page loading, network errors, and window interactions.
• Command-Driven Control: Provides a command-driven interface for fine-grained control over navigation and browser operations.

Usage

To embed a browser using aloe-webbrowser, you first need to initialize the WebBrowserComponent, optionally specifying unload behavior when the browser is hidden:

let browser = WebBrowserComponent::new(Some(true));

You can navigate to URLs using:

browser.go_tourl(&String::from("https://www.example.com"), None, None);

Handling Events

Implement the PageAboutToLoad, PageFinishedLoading, PageLoadHadNetworkError, and other traits to respond to browser events as needed:

impl PageAboutToLoad for MyWebApp {
    fn page_about_to_load(&mut self, new_url: &String) -> bool {
        println!("Navigating to: {}", new_url);
        true // Return whether to proceed with loading
    }
}

Requirements

• Linux: Requires GTK and WebKit2GTK packages.
• Windows: WebView2 requires the presence of WebView2Loader.dll and Microsoft Edge (version 82.0.488.0 or higher).
