HTML 5 GUI Demo
Demos for using HTML 5 as a GUI for C++ apps
Talk
The demos were created for a talk I gave at CppCon.
Demos list
- ws-simple: A simple echo-server using WebSockets. Uses Boost.Beast
- cef-async: A simple CEF echo application using asynchronous communication
- cef-sync: A simple CEF echo application using synchronous communication
- fs-browser: A simple filesystem browser demo with two implementations: WebSockets and CEF
- demo-3d: A simple demo with GUI over a custom OpenGL window with two implementations: No GUI and CEF
Building
This repo has submodules. Clone with --recursive or call git submodule update --init after cloning.
There's a master CMakeLists.txt in the root directory, which can be used to build all demos. It downloads and prepares all dependencies, except Boost. You need to configure with -DHTML5_DEMO_BOOST_DIR=path/to/your/boost/installation or have Boost in your global include and library paths.
Currently the only supported configuration is to build all demos. I may provide configuration options to build only selected ones, but it won't be soon. In the meantime I welcome pull requests which do so.
