211 :: CEF or another HTML engine binding?

• dubcanada (orginal) [2013-08-29T06:34:02+02:00] view original

  Hello,

  I am wondering how would you get started with creating a CEF or another HTML engine binding?

  Is there anyway to just let that stay in C and call the stuff from nimrod?

  Regards,

  Steve

  indeed there is.

  You need to find a header file for CEF and run c2nim on it, or just start wrapping the calls that you need yourself via the importc and dynlib pragmas.

  If you are going to use c2nim to create a wrapper, go for the C API here:

  It may be easier to use the Delphi wrappers of CEF and pas2nim. Delphi already looks pretty close to Nimrod so even manual editing of these wrappers may be feasible.
