This repository contains the source code of some C++ classes wrapping a subset of the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF for shorter) API compiled to be used either as a Godot 3.5 native module (GDNative) or Godot 4.2 extension (GDExtension) which allows you to implement a webview for your 2D and 3D games through your gdscripts for Linux and Windows (Mac OS should work, if you are a MacOS dev, please contact me by creating an issue).
We have named this CEF module/extension gdcef
. It can be downloaded directly
from the Godot asset library:
For people, that does not want to compile this project by their selves can download pre-build artefacts https://github.com/Lecrapouille/gdcef/releases
For developers, since Godot 3.x GDNative and Godot 4.x GDExtension are not compatible, there are two branches:
For developers, you have to do:
git checkout godot-3.x
for developing GDNative version for Godot 3.4 or 3.5.git checkout godot-4.x
for developing GDExtension version for Godot 4.2 and later.Note: After talking with some developpers who want only display their JS game but do not necessary need Godot. In this case there is a better alternative: when compiling CEF, the build system also compile a small CEF application which, by default, open google. You can adapt to launch your game (local or remote) as default page. See this repo https://github.com/Lecrapouille/exa-application and adapt these lines for your application name (title) and the URL.
