Web Embedding Framework

Wef (Web Embedding Framework) is a Rust library for embedding WebView functionality using Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF3) with offscreen rendering support.

The Wef name is an abbreviation of "Web Embedding Framework", and it's also inspired by Wry.

• Cross-Platform: Support for Windows, macOS, and Linux
• CEF3 Integration: Built on top of Chromium Embedded Framework for reliable web rendering
• Offscreen Rendering: Advanced rendering capabilities with offscreen support
• JavaScript Bridge: Seamless communication between Rust and JavaScript
• Multi-Process Architecture: Leverages CEF's multi-process design for stability
• Cargo Integration: Complete toolchain with cargo-wef for easy development

Add wef to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
wef = "0.6.0"

cargo install cargo-wef

cargo wef init

use wef::Settings;

fn main() {
    let settings = Settings::new();
    wef::launch(settings, || {
        // Your application logic here
    });
}

# Build the library
cargo wef build

# Run tests
cargo test --all

# Run an example
cargo wef run -p wef-winit

• CEF binary distribution (automatically downloaded by cargo-wef)
• Platform-specific dependencies:
  • Linux: libglib2.0-dev, pkg-config
  • Windows: Visual Studio Build Tools
  • macOS: Xcode Command Line Tools
