Source: https://github.com/webui-dev/webui/blob/main/examples/C/serve_a_folder/index.html

This JavaScript code demonstrates how to use the WebUI API to interact with the backend. It includes setting event callbacks for connection status and calling backend functions using different methods (global, property, and webui.call). It requires the 'webui.js' file to be included.

```javascript
/*
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
  // DOM is loaded. Check if `webui` object is available
  if (typeof webui !== 'undefined') {
    // Set events callback
    webui.setEventCallback((e) => {
      if (e == webui.event.CONNECTED) {
        // Connection to the backend is established
        console.log('Connected.');
        webuiTest();
      } else if (e == webui.event.DISCONNECTED) {
        // Connection to the backend is lost
        console.log('Disconnected.');
      }
    });
  } else {
    // The virtual file `webui.js` is not included
    alert('Please add webui.js to your HTML.');
  }
});

function webuiTest() {
  // Call a backend function
  if (webui.isConnected()) {
    // When you bind a func in the backend
    // webui will create the `func` object
    // in three places:
    //
    // Global : func(...)
    // Property : webui.func(...)
    // Method : webui.call('func', ...)
    //
    // [!] Note: Objects creation fails when
    // a similar object already exist.
    const foo = 'Hello';
    const bar = 123456;

    // Calling as global object
    myBackendFunction(foo, bar).then((response) => {
      // Do something with `response`
    });

    // Calling as property of `webui.` object
    webui.myBackendFunction(foo, bar).then((response) => {
      // Do something with `response`
    });

    // Calling using the method `webui.call()`
    webui.call('myBackendFunction', foo, bar).then((response) => {
      // Do something with `response`
    });

    // Using await
    // const response = await myBackendFunction(foo, bar);
    // const response = await webui.myBackendFunction(foo, bar);
    // const response = await webui.call('myBackendFunction', foo, bar);
  }
}

### Serve Files and Custom Handlers (C)

Source: https://context7.com/webui-dev/webui/llms.txt

This C code demonstrates how to serve static files and custom dynamic content using `webui_set_file_handler`. The `my_files_handler` function is called for each file request. It can return embedded content for specific filenames or dynamically generate content. If it returns NULL, WebUI attempts to serve files from the specified `root_folder`. Memory allocated with `webui_malloc` is automatically freed by WebUI.

```c
#include "webui.h"
#include <stdio.h>\n#include <string.h>

const void* my_files_handler(const char* filename, int* length) {
    printf("Requested file: %s\n", filename);

    // Serve static embedded content
    if (!strcmp(filename, "/test.txt")) {
        return  "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n"
                "Content-Type: text/html\r\n"
                "Content-Length: 99\r\n\r\n"
                "<html>"
                "   Static embedded file content."
                "   <script src=\"webui.js\"></script>"
                "</html>";
    }

    // Serve dynamic content
    if (!strcmp(filename, "/dynamic.html")) {
        char* body = webui_malloc(1024);
        char* response = webui_malloc(1024);

        static int count = 0;
        sprintf(body,
            "<html>"
            "   Dynamic content. Count: %d <a href=\"dynamic.html\">[Refresh]</a>"
            "   <script src=\"webui.js\"></script>"
            "</html>",
            ++count);

        int body_size = strlen(body);
        sprintf(response,
            "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n"
            "Content-Type: text/html\r\n"
            "Content-Length: %d\r\n\r\n"
            "%s",
            body_size, body);

        webui_free(body);
        *length = strlen(response);

        // WebUI automatically frees memory allocated with webui_malloc
        return response;
    }

    // Return NULL to let WebUI serve files from the local filesystem
    return NULL;
}

int main() {
    size_t window = webui_new_window();

    // Set custom file handler
    webui_set_file_handler(window, my_files_handler);

    // Set root folder for serving local files
    webui_set_root_folder(window, "/path/to/web/files");

    // Show window serving index.html from root folder
    webui_show(window, "index.html");

    webui_wait();
    webui_clean();

    return 0;
}

### Handle Events and Binary Data with WebUI (C)

Source: https://context7.com/webui-dev/webui/llms.txt

This C code snippet illustrates how to handle various events (connection, navigation, mouse clicks) and transfer raw binary data between C and JavaScript using the WebUI library. It defines event handlers and demonstrates sending/receiving byte arrays. Dependencies include 'webui.h' and 'stdio.h'.

```c
#include "webui.h"
#include <stdio.h>

void events(webui_event_t* e) {
    if (e->event_type == WEBUI_EVENT_CONNECTED) {
        printf("Client connected. Client ID: %zu\n", e->client_id);
    }
    else if (e->event_type == WEBUI_EVENT_DISCONNECTED) {
        printf("Client disconnected.\n");
    }
    else if (e->event_type == WEBUI_EVENT_MOUSE_CLICK) {
        printf("Mouse click event.\n");
    }
    else if (e->event_type == WEBUI_EVENT_NAVIGATION) {
        const char* url = webui_get_string(e);
        printf("Navigation to: %s\n", url);
        webui_navigate(e->window, url);
    }
}

void handle_binary_data(webui_event_t* e) {
    // Receive raw binary data from JavaScript
    const unsigned char* data = (const unsigned char*)webui_get_string(e);
    size_t data_size = webui_get_size(e);

    printf("Received %zu bytes: ", data_size);
    for (size_t i = 0; i < data_size && i < 10; i++) {
        printf("0x%02x ", data[i]);
    }
    printf("\n");

    // Send raw binary data to JavaScript
    unsigned char response[] = {0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF};
    webui_send_raw(e->window, "handleBinaryResponse", response, sizeof(response));
}

int main() {
    const char* html = 
        "<!DOCTYPE html>"
        "<html>"
        "  <head><script src=\"webui.js\"></script></head>"
        "  <body>"
        "    <button onclick=\"sendBinary();\">Send Binary Data</button>"
        "    <script>"
        "      function sendBinary() {"
        "        const data = new Uint8Array([0x41, 0x42, 0x43]);"
        "        handle_binary_data(data);"
        "      }"
        "      function handleBinaryResponse(data) {"
        "        console.log('Received binary:', new Uint8Array(data));"
        "      }"
        "    </script>"
        "  </body>"
        "</html>";

    size_t window = webui_new_window();

    // Bind empty string to capture all events
    webui_bind(window, "", events);
    webui_bind(window, "handle_binary_data", handle_binary_data);

    webui_show(window, html);
    webui_wait();
    webui_clean();

    return 0;
}

### JavaScript Interaction with WebUI Backend

Source: https://github.com/webui-dev/webui/blob/main/examples/C++/virtual_file_system/ui/index.html

This JavaScript code snippet shows how to interact with the WebUI backend. It sets up an event listener for connection events and demonstrates calling backend functions using different methods: as a global object, as a webui property, and using the webui.call() method. It requires the webui.js file to be included in the HTML.

```javascript
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
    // DOM is loaded. Check if `webui` object is available
    if (typeof webui !== 'undefined') {
        // Set events callback
        webui.setEventCallback((e) => {
            if (e == webui.event.CONNECTED) {
                // Connection to the backend is established
                console.log('Connected.');
                webuiTest();
            } else if (e == webui.event.DISCONNECTED) {
                // Connection to the backend is lost
                console.log('Disconnected.');
            }
        });
    } else {
        // The virtual file `webui.js` is not included
        alert('Please add webui.js to your HTML.');
    }
});

function webuiTest() {
    // Call a backend function
    if (webui.isConnected()) {
        // When you bind a func in the backend
        // webui will create the `func` object
        // in three places:
        //
        // Global : func(...)
        // Property : webui.func(...)
        // Method : webui.call('func', ...)
        //
        // [!] Note: Objects creation fails when
        // a similar object already exist.
        const foo = 'Hello';
        const bar = 123456;

        // Calling as global object
        myBackendFunction(foo, bar).then((response) => {
            // Do something with `response`
        });

        // Calling as property of `webui.` object
        webui.myBackendFunction(foo, bar).then((response) => {
            // Do something with `response`
        });

        // Calling using the method `webui.call()`
        webui.call('myBackendFunction', foo, bar).then((response) => {
            // Do something with `response`
        });

        // Using await
        // const response = await myBackendFunction(foo, bar);
        // const response = await webui.myBackendFunction(foo, bar);
        // const response = await webui.call('myBackendFunction', foo, bar);
    }
}
```

### JavaScript: WebUI Event Callback and Backend Function Calls

Source: https://github.com/webui-dev/webui/blob/main/examples/C/virtual_file_system/ui/index.html

This JavaScript code demonstrates how to set up an event callback for WebUI connection events (CONNECTED, DISCONNECTED) and how to call backend functions. It shows three ways to invoke a backend function: as a global object, as a property of the `webui` object, and using the `webui.call()` method. Ensure `webui.js` is included in your HTML.

```javascript
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
  // DOM is loaded. Check if `webui` object is available
  if (typeof webui !== 'undefined') {
    // Set events callback
    webui.setEventCallback((e) => {
      if (e == webui.event.CONNECTED) {
        // Connection to the backend is established
        console.log('Connected.');
        webuiTest();
      } else if (e == webui.event.DISCONNECTED) {
        // Connection to the backend is lost
        console.log('Disconnected.');
      }
    });
  } else {
    // The virtual file `webui.js` is not included
    alert('Please add webui.js to your HTML.');
  }
});

function webuiTest() {
  // Call a backend function
  if (webui.isConnected()) {
    // When you bind a func in the backend
    // webui will create the `func` object
    // in three places:
    //
    // Global : func(...)
    // Property : webui.func(...)
    // Method : webui.call('func', ...)
    //
    // [!] Note: Objects creation fails when
    // a similar object already exist.
    const foo = 'Hello';
    const bar = 123456;

    // Calling as global object
    myBackendFunction(foo, bar).then((response) => {
      // Do something with `response`
    });

    // Calling as property of `webui.` object
    webui.myBackendFunction(foo, bar).then((response) => {
      // Do something with `response`
    });

    // Calling using the method `webui.call()`
    webui.call('myBackendFunction', foo, bar).then((response) => {
      // Do something with `response`
    });

    // Using await
    // const response = await myBackendFunction(foo, bar);
    // const response = await webui.myBackendFunction(foo, bar);
    // const response = await webui.call('myBackendFunction', foo, bar);
  }
}
