This is useful for integrating webview functionality into existing applications. It requires a platform-specific native window handle. The function sets the window title, size, and navigates to a URL. Dependencies include the 'webview_go' package and 'unsafe'. ```go package main import ( "unsafe" webview "github.com/webview/webview_go" ) func main() { // Get native window handle (platform-specific) // Linux: GtkWindow*, macOS: NSWindow*, Windows: HWND var nativeWindow unsafe.Pointer = nil // Replace with actual window handle // Create webview in the existing window w := webview.NewWindow(false, nativeWindow) defer w.Destroy() w.SetTitle("Embedded WebView") w.SetSize(640, 480, webview.HintFixed) // Fixed size, non-resizable w.Navigate("https://github.com/webview/webview_go") w.Run() } ``` -------------------------------- ### Navigate URL or Data URI in Go Source: https://context7.com/webview/webview_go/llms.txt Loads a URL or a data URI into the webview. This allows navigating to external websites or displaying inline HTML content directly. The function supports both standard URLs and data URIs, including base64-encoded content. Dependencies include the 'webview_go' package. ```go package main import webview "github.com/webview/webview_go" func main() { w := webview.New(false) defer w.Destroy() w.SetTitle("Navigation Example") w.SetSize(1024, 768, webview.HintNone) // Navigate to external URL // w.Navigate("https://golang.org") // Navigate using URL-encoded data URI // w.Navigate("data:text/html,%3Ch1%3EHello%3C%2Fh1%3E") // Navigate using base64-encoded data URI w.Navigate("data:text/html;base64,PCFET0NUWVBFIGh0bWw+CjxodG1sPgo8aGVhZD4KICA8dGl0bGU+RGF0YSBVUkk8L3RpdGxlPgogIDxzdHlsZT4KICAgIGJvZHkgeyBmb250LWZhbWlseTogQXJpYWw7IHBhZGRpbmc6IDIwcHg7IH0KICAgIGgxIHsgY29sb3I6ICMzMzM7IH0KICA8L3N0eWxlPgo8L2hlYWQ+Cjxib2R5PgogIDxoMT5Mb2FkZWQgZnJvbSBCYXNlNjQgRGF0YSBVUkk8L2gxPgogIDxwPlRoaXMgY29udGVudCB3YXMgZW5jb2RlZCBhcyBiYXNlNjQgYW5kIGxvYWRlZCBkaXJlY3RseS48L3A+CjwvYm9keT4KPC9odG1sPg==") w.Run() } ``` -------------------------------- ### Bind Go Functions to JavaScript in webview_go Source: https://context7.com/webview/webview_go/llms.txt This Go code snippet demonstrates how to bind various types of Go functions to JavaScript within a webview application. It covers simple function calls, functions with parameters, error handling, and complex data types. The primary dependency is the 'github.com/webview/webview_go' library. Input parameters and return types are defined by the Go function signatures, and these are mirrored in the JavaScript calls. ```go package main import ( "fmt" "time" webview "github.com/webview/webview_go" ) type User struct { Name string `json:"name"` Email string `json:"email"` } type ApiResponse struct { Success bool `json:"success"` Data interface{} `json:"data"` Error string `json:"error,omitempty"` } func main() { w := webview.New(true) defer w.Destroy() w.SetTitle("Function Binding Example") w.SetSize(700, 500, webview.HintNone) // Bind function with no parameters, returns value w.Bind("getVersion", func() string { return "1.2.3" }) // Bind function with parameters, returns value w.Bind("add", func(a, b int) int { return a + b }) // Bind function returning value and error w.Bind("divide", func(a, b float64) (float64, error) { if b == 0 { return 0, fmt.Errorf("division by zero") } return a / b, nil }) // Bind function with struct parameter and return w.Bind("saveUser", func(user User) (ApiResponse, error) { // Simulate validation if user.Name == "" { return ApiResponse{ Success: false, Error: "Name is required", }, nil } // Simulate async operation time.Sleep(100 * time.Millisecond) return ApiResponse{ Success: true, Data: map[string]interface{}{ "id": 12345, "name": user.Name, "email": user.Email, "createdAt": time.Now().Format(time.RFC3339), }, }, nil }) // Bind function with only error return w.Bind("closeApp", func() error { w.Terminate() return nil }) w.SetHtml(`

### Dispatch Functions to UI Thread in Go

Source: https://context7.com/webview/webview_go/llms.txt

Executes a function on the main UI thread, which is essential for thread-safe UI updates when working with background goroutines. This prevents race conditions and ensures UI elements are modified correctly. It utilizes the webview_go library.

```go
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "net/http"
    "time"
    webview "github.com/webview/webview_go"
)

func main() {
    w := webview.New(false)
    defer w.Destroy()
    w.SetTitle("Dispatch Example")
    w.SetSize(600, 400, webview.HintNone)

    w.SetHtml(`

The handle's type varies by operating system (GTK window on Linux, NSWindow on macOS, HWND on Windows). This handle can be used with platform-specific APIs for advanced UI customization and integration. ```go package main import ( "fmt" "runtime" "unsafe" webview "github.com/webview/webview_go" ) func main() { w := webview.New(false) defer w.Destroy() w.SetTitle("Native Window Handle") w.SetSize(640, 480, webview.HintNone) // Get native window handle window := w.Window() // The handle type depends on the platform: // - Linux/BSD: GtkWindow* (GTK+ window pointer) // - macOS: NSWindow* (Cocoa window pointer) // - Windows: HWND (Windows window handle) var handleInfo string switch runtime.GOOS { case "linux", "openbsd", "freebsd", "netbsd": handleInfo = fmt.Sprintf("GtkWindow pointer: %p", window) case "darwin": handleInfo = fmt.Sprintf("NSWindow pointer: %p", window) case "windows": handleInfo = fmt.Sprintf("HWND handle: %p", window) default: handleInfo = fmt.Sprintf("Unknown platform handle: %p", window) } fmt.Println(handleInfo) // The handle can be used with platform-specific APIs // For example, on Windows you could call Win32 APIs: // if runtime.GOOS == "windows" { // hwnd := window // // Call Win32 functions using syscall or cgo // // Example: SetWindowPos, ShowWindow, etc. // } w.SetHtml(fmt.Sprintf( "\n \n \n

`) // Start background goroutine to update UI go func() { time.Sleep(2 * time.Second) // Update title w.Dispatch(func() { w.Eval(`document.getElementById('title').textContent = 'Go is updating me!';`) w.Eval(`document.getElementById('title').style.color = 'green';`) }) // Counter that updates every second for i := 1; i <= 5; i++ { time.Sleep(1 * time.Second) counter := i w.Dispatch(func() { js := fmt.Sprintf(` document.getElementById('counter').textContent = %d; const log = document.getElementById('log'); const entry = document.createElement('div'); entry.textContent = 'Update #%d at ' + new Date().toLocaleTimeString(); log.appendChild(entry); `, counter, counter) w.Eval(js) }) } time.Sleep(1 * time.Second) w.Dispatch(func() { w.Eval(`alert('Updates complete!');`) }) }() w.Run() } ``` -------------------------------- ### Terminate Event Loop Gracefully in Go Source: https://context7.com/webview/webview_go/llms.txt This Go snippet demonstrates how to stop the main event loop from a background thread, enabling a graceful shutdown of the webview application. It uses the `Terminate()` method, which is thread-safe. This is useful for timed shutdowns or responding to external events. ```go package main import ( "time" webview "github.com/webview/webview_go" ) func main() { w := webview.New(false) defer w.Destroy() w.SetTitle("Auto-Close Example") w.SetSize(500, 300, webview.HintFixed) // Bind close function w.Bind("requestClose", func() { w.Terminate() }) w.SetHtml( "\n \n

Auto-Close Demo

This window will automatically close in 10 seconds.

This is useful for revoking access to Go functions after a certain period or event. It requires the webview_go library. ```go package main import ( "time" webview "github.com/webview/webview_go" ) func main() { w := webview.New(false) defer w.Destroy() w.SetTitle("Unbind Example") w.SetSize(600, 400, webview.HintNone) // Bind a function w.Bind("getMessage", func() string { return "Hello from Go!" }) w.SetHtml(`

Function Unbinding

`) // Unbind after 5 seconds go func() { time.Sleep(5 * time.Second) w.Dispatch(func() { w.Unbind("getMessage") w.Eval(` alert('getMessage() has been unbound! Try clicking the button now.'); `) }) }() w.Run() } ``` === COMPLETE CONTENT === This response contains all available snippets from this library. No additional content exists.
