webui-dev / nim-webui Goto Github PK

I am using latesed cloned webui4nim and webui. I have copied webui\include\*.h to this webui4nim
So I can generated hello_world.exe in MSYS2+Mingw64 on my windows 10 64bits with just nim c -r hello_world.nim

hello_world.exe can be lauched. However, no matter what password is used, when I click "check password", it crashed. But as we know, some message should be printed in MSYS2 console

When I tried to test the examples, I manually cloned this repo, but because of nim.cfg, the compiling failed.

C:\Users\...\webui-main\examples>nim c -d:useWebviewStaticLib call_nim_from_js.nim
Hint: used config file 'C:\Nim\config\nim.cfg' [Conf]
Hint: used config file 'C:\Nim\config\config.nims' [Conf]
Hint: used config file 'C:\Users\...\webui-main\examples\nim.cfg' [Conf]
............................................................................................
C:\Users\...\webui-main\webui\bindings.nim(76, 12) Error: cannot find: ./webui/src/mongoose.c

Copying the example folder outside of the repo folder will work. Also, just removing nim.cfg works too.

Regular cloning (nonrecursive) tries to rebuild webui.c instead of using the already installed one.

Similar to #5 , I went into some crashes when working with hello_world.nim using Nimble package.
In devel mode it crashes silently when clicked, in release mode it works but sometimes it still crashes.
I tried to change webui.nim:261 from

data = buffer.join().strip(leading = false, chars = {'\x00'})

to

data = $(cast[cstring](addr buffer[0]))

Then it seems to work smoothly, with thread:off. Not tested much and not using nightly build, but I want to note it here for others who is willing to make further investigations about it.

My env: Nim Compiler Version 1.6.12 [Windows: amd64]

It would be very useful if we could get and set the window size and position. Can we expect this functionality to be available soon?

for example
https://github.com/olifolkerd/tabulator
https://github.com/jspreadsheet/ce

further, is it possible to interface 3rd javascript code without writing any js code?

thanks

It would be cool to have some kind of "bindJS" template, where it takes the given Nim code and transpiles it to JS to then binds the generated JS code to the id.

The next version 2.4.0 will include TLS Encryption between the GUI and the Nim application. This will make compiling WebUI from the source more challenging for the Nim wrapper.

I suggest making the Nim wrapper using the static pre-built library which makes things very easy as it does not need to compile WebUI from the source.

tcc: error: library 'ws2_32' not found

Possibly related to #2

I am on OSX (M1) Ventura 13.3, nim 1.6.10, nimble 0.13.1

I can do nimble install webui without error, but not track it as a dependency in my project.

If I add this to my nimble file:

requires "https://github.com/neroist/webui.git"

or:

requires "webui >= 0.2.1"

I get this, when I try to nimble run:

/Users/konsumer/.nimble/pkgs/webui-0.2.1/webui/webui/src/mongoose.c:20:10: fatal error: 'mongoose.h' file not found
#include "mongoose.h"

Hello, how would i use this with a javascript framework such as reactjs or svelte?

See this: webui-dev/webui#109
I tried to do as I was advised by @AlbertShown, or rather change the path imports of all js/and css scripts in the html file to out/path instead of path, but it had exactly no effect.

Error receiving script files for current html

But this script's located right

Right now my page looks like this when I export HTML from React through NextJS

But it should be like this:

Exported this page to github pages is: https://griffith1deady.github.io/languages

Minimal code for error is:

import std/os, webui

var window: Window

proc main = 
  window = newWindow(1)
  window.runtime = NodeJs
  window.show("languages.html")
  wait()

setCurrentDir(currentSourcePath().parentDir() & "/out")

main()

All source files with pages & resources, more precisely exporting my site https://github.com/griffith1deady/griffith1deady.github.io packed in an archive:
NIM.zip

Also, you may notice some visual differences between my resources and those on the work site: all this is because I just used earlier commits.

Do I think something is just blocking the distribution of files?

I am using nim in MSYS2+MINGW64 on windows 10 64 bits. I installed webui via nimble install webui

when I try and run nim-webui-main\examples\hello_world.nim without problem. But for nim-webui-main\examples\text_editor\src\text_editor.nim, I get

I suggest removing the website folder and keep it only in the webui repo, because it has the FTP auto deploy so we can have only one official online documentation that has all the APIs.

https://webui.me/docs/#/

Why did you choose MIT License? Is there any benefit over the GPL one?

I suggest we keep all repos in the same version. For example, WebUI is now on v2.3.0, so all repo releases should be on the same version v2.3.0. And if any bug fix happens only on that repo, then we publish 2.3.0.1, 2.3.0.2 etc... I did that with Go and Python so I can easily know what version of the WebUI library is used.

WebUI v2.2.0 is ready for release.

Big changes:

1. Now, webui.h it's become more straightforward and smaller and optimized for wrapper creation
2. webui_show() will replace webui_open() and webui_new_server()
3. webui_window_t struct becomes a simple void*
4. To solves the complexity of memory leaks when executing JS, now, the wrapper creates a local buffer and passes it to webui_script()
5. All core internal functions are removed from webui.h

To create the new Nim wrapper, run c2nim webui.h. And remove all other functions from the old version v2.1.1.
After that, we will start creating more big software in Nim as an example (Text editor, Media Player, Database viewer...), which will be very exciting to explore and learn new things!.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me here.
Thank you for maintaining the WebUI Nim wrapper. I appreciate it 👍

Trying to run examples to get familiar with the webui
hello_world.nim generates this EM:

SIGSEGV: Illegal storage access. (Attempt to read from nil?)
fish: Job 1, './test' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

Running Nim version 1.6.12 and webui 0.5.0
Failing with nimble install (stable and git versions), nimble develop and git recursive too

I started using your library. It's quite nice, but i have a problem. I tried to create an image gallery. If the images are in the main app folder(where the exe file is) or, starting from the main app folder, in a sub folder they are shown. If instead the images are in another folder the images don't appear. How can i solve this problem? I cannot put all the images in the app folder. I tried to use file:// protocol and also ../../ relative path but nothing works

I test the Nim wrapper. It's working perfectly 👍
I suggest adding -mwindows into the linking command in bindings.nim to hide the terminal window in the final executable.
