Wry is a Cross-platform WebView rendering library.
The webview requires a running event loop and a window type that implements [`HasWindowHandle`],
or a gtk container widget if you need to support X11 and Wayland.
You can use a windowing library like [`tao`] or [`winit`].
### Examples
This example leverages the [`HasWindowHandle`] and supports Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and Linux (X11 Only).
See the following example using [`winit`]:
```rust
#[derive(Default)]
struct App {
window: Option<Window>,
webview: Option<wry::WebView>,
}
impl ApplicationHandler for App {
fn resumed(&mut self, event_loop: &ActiveEventLoop) {
let window = event_loop.create_window(Window::default_attributes()).unwrap();
let webview = WebViewBuilder::new()
.with_url("https://tauri.app")
.build(&window)
.unwrap();
self.window = Some(window);
self.webview = Some(webview);
}
fn window_event(&mut self, _event_loop: &ActiveEventLoop, _window_id: WindowId, event: WindowEvent) {}
}
let event_loop = EventLoop::new().unwrap();
let mut app = App::default();
event_loop.run_app(&mut app).unwrap();
```
If you also want to support Wayland too, then we recommend you use [`WebViewBuilderExtUnix::new_gtk`] on Linux.
See the following example using [`tao`]:
```rust
let event_loop = EventLoop::new();
let window = WindowBuilder::new().build(&event_loop).unwrap();
let builder = WebViewBuilder::new().with_url("https://tauri.app");
#[cfg(not(target_os = "linux"))]
let webview = builder.build(&window).unwrap();
#[cfg(target_os = "linux")]
let webview = builder.build_gtk(window.gtk_window()).unwrap();
```
### Child webviews
You can use [`WebView::new_as_child`] or [`WebViewBuilder::new_as_child`] to create the webview as a child inside another window. This is supported on
macOS, Windows and Linux (X11 Only).
```rust
#[derive(Default)]
struct App {
window: Option<Window>,
webview: Option<wry::WebView>,
}
impl ApplicationHandler for App {
fn resumed(&mut self, event_loop: &ActiveEventLoop) {
let window = event_loop.create_window(Window::default_attributes()).unwrap();
let webview = WebViewBuilder::new()
.with_url("https://tauri.app")
.with_bounds(Rect {
position: LogicalPosition::new(100, 100).into(),
size: LogicalSize::new(200, 200).into(),
})
.build_as_child(&window)
.unwrap();
self.window = Some(window);
self.webview = Some(webview);
}
fn window_event(&mut self, _event_loop: &ActiveEventLoop, _window_id: WindowId, event: WindowEvent) {}
}
let event_loop = EventLoop::new().unwrap();
let mut app = App::default();
event_loop.run_app(&mut app).unwrap();
```
If you want to support X11 and Wayland at the same time, we recommend using
[`WebViewExtUnix::new_gtk`] or [`WebViewBuilderExtUnix::new_gtk`] with [`gtk::Fixed`].
```rust
let event_loop = EventLoop::new();
let window = WindowBuilder::new().build(&event_loop).unwrap();
let builder = WebViewBuilder::new()
.with_url("https://tauri.app")
.with_bounds(Rect {
position: LogicalPosition::new(100, 100).into(),
size: LogicalSize::new(200, 200).into(),
});
#[cfg(not(target_os = "linux"))]
let webview = builder.build_as_child(&window).unwrap();
#[cfg(target_os = "linux")]
let webview = {
# use gtk::prelude::*;
let vbox = window.default_vbox().unwrap(); // tao adds a gtk::Box by default
let fixed = gtk::Fixed::new();
fixed.show_all();
vbox.pack_start(&fixed, true, true, 0);
builder.build_gtk(&fixed).unwrap()
};
```
### Platform Considerations
Here is the underlying web engine each platform uses, and some dependencies you might need to install.
#### Linux
[WebKitGTK](https://webkitgtk.org/) is used to provide webviews on Linux which requires GTK,
so if the windowing library doesn't support GTK (as in [`winit`])
you'll need to call [`gtk::init`] before creating the webview and then call [`gtk::main_iteration_do`] alongside
your windowing library event loop.
```rust
#[derive(Default)]
struct App {
webview_window: Option<(Window, WebView)>,
}
impl ApplicationHandler for App {
fn resumed(&mut self, event_loop: &ActiveEventLoop) {
let window = event_loop.create_window(Window::default_attributes()).unwrap();
let webview = WebViewBuilder::new()
.with_url("https://tauri.app")
.build(&window)
.unwrap();
self.webview_window = Some((window, webview));
}
fn window_event(&mut self, _event_loop: &ActiveEventLoop, _window_id: WindowId, event: WindowEvent) {}
// Advance GTK event loop <!----- IMPORTANT
fn about_to_wait(&mut self, _event_loop: &ActiveEventLoop) {
#[cfg(target_os = "linux")]
while gtk::events_pending() {
gtk::main_iteration_do(false);
}
}
}
let event_loop = EventLoop::new().unwrap();
let mut app = App::default();
event_loop.run_app(&mut app).unwrap();
```
##### Linux Dependencies
###### Arch Linux / Manjaro:
```bash
sudo pacman -S webkit2gtk-4.1
```
###### Debian / Ubuntu:
```bash
sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev
```
###### Fedora
```bash
sudo dnf install gtk3-devel webkit2gtk4.1-devel
```
###### Nix & NixOS
```nix
# shell.nix
let
# Unstable Channel | Rolling Release
pkgs = import (fetchTarball("channel:nixpkgs-unstable")) { };
packages = with pkgs; [
pkg-config
webkitgtk_4_1
];
in
pkgs.mkShell {
buildInputs = packages;
}
```
```sh
nix-shell shell.nix
```
###### GUIX
```scheme
;; manifest.scm
(specifications->manifest
'("pkg-config" ; Helper tool used when compiling
"webkitgtk" ; Web content engine fot GTK+
))
```
```bash
guix shell -m manifest.scm
```
#### macOS
WebKit is native on macOS so everything should be fine.
If you are cross-compiling for macOS using [osxcross](https://github.com/tpoechtrager/osxcross) and encounter a runtime panic like `Class with name WKWebViewConfiguration could not be found` it's possible that `WebKit.framework` has not been linked correctly, to fix this set the `RUSTFLAGS` environment variable:
```bash
RUSTFLAGS="-l framework=WebKit" cargo build --target=x86_64-apple-darwin --release
```
#### Windows
WebView2 provided by Microsoft Edge Chromium is used. So wry supports Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11.
#### Android
In order for `wry` to be able to create webviews on Android, there is a few requirements that your application needs to uphold:
1. You need to set a few environment variables that will be used to generate the necessary kotlin
files that you need to include in your Android application for wry to function properly.
- `WRY_ANDROID_PACKAGE`: which is the reversed domain name of your android project and the app name in snake_case, for example, `com.wry.example.wry_app`
- `WRY_ANDROID_LIBRARY`: for example, if your cargo project has a lib name `wry_app`, it will generate `libwry_app.so` so you se this env var to `wry_app`
- `WRY_ANDROID_KOTLIN_FILES_OUT_DIR`: for example, `path/to/app/src/main/kotlin/com/wry/example`
2. Your main Android Activity needs to inherit `AppCompatActivity`, preferably it should use the generated `WryActivity` or inherit it.
3. Your Rust app needs to call `wry::android_setup` function to setup the necessary logic to be able to create webviews later on.
4. Your Rust app needs to call `wry::android_binding!` macro to setup the JNI functions that will be called by `WryActivity` and various other places.
It is recommended to use [`tao`](https://docs.rs/tao/latest/tao/) crate as it provides maximum compatibility with `wry`
```rust
#[cfg(target_os = "android")]
{
tao::android_binding!(
com_example,
wry_app,
WryActivity,
wry::android_setup, // pass the wry::android_setup function to tao which will invoke when the event loop is created
_start_app
);
wry::android_binding!(com_example, ttt);
}
```
If this feels overwhelming, you can just use the preconfigured template from [`cargo-mobile2`](https://github.com/tauri-apps/cargo-mobile2).
For more inforamtion, checkout [MOBILE.md](https://github.com/tauri-apps/wry/blob/dev/MOBILE.md).
### Feature flags
Wry uses a set of feature flags to toggle several advanced features.
- `os-webview` (default): Enables the default WebView framework on the platform. This must be enabled
for the crate to work. This feature was added in preparation of other ports like cef and servo.
- `protocol` (default): Enables [`WebViewBuilder::with_custom_protocol`] to define custom URL scheme for handling tasks like
loading assets.
- `drag-drop` (default): Enables [`WebViewBuilder::with_drag_drop_handler`] to control the behaviour when there are files
interacting with the window.
- `x11` (default): Enables x11 support and dependencies on Linux.
- `devtools`: Enables devtools on release builds. Devtools are always enabled in debug builds.
On **macOS**, enabling devtools, requires calling private apis so you should not enable this flag in release
build if your app needs to publish to App Store.
- `transparent`: Transparent background on **macOS** requires calling private functions.
Avoid this in release build if your app needs to publish to App Store.
- `fullscreen`: Fullscreen video and other media on **macOS** requires calling private functions.
Avoid this in release build if your app needs to publish to App Store.
libraries and prevent from building documentation on doc.rs fails.
- `linux-body`: Enables body support of custom protocol request on Linux. Requires
webkit2gtk v2.40 or above.
- `tracing`: enables [`tracing`] for `evaluate_script`, `ipc_handler` and `custom_protocols.
