Description

@marcomq

Webview currently doesnt't support file urls anymore. At least not in the latest version on windows. Therefore, nimview will need to switch the used library to something else, supporting file urls.

The current candidate is https://github.com/tauri-apps/wry but this is unfortunately a rust library. So it would be required to build some Nim / C Wrapper first.

There might also be other libraries that can be used:

Requirements:

  • support Windows, MacOS and Linux
  • lightweight
  • support calling Javascript from Backend
  • doesn't require sockets - uses file urls
