cordova-cef

This project is a Cordova/Phongap framework implementation based on the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF).

cordova-cef is not yet production ready and is not fully integrated into the Cordova eco system, which means it is not usable with the cordova-cli.

The future plan is to complete the following implementations:

• Windows Desktop for Windows 7 or later (not Windows 8/8.1 Store-App)
• Mac OSX
• Linux
• Windows 8.1 Store-App

Windows-Desktop for Windows 7 or later (not Windows 8/8.1 Store-App)

• Download and install CMake (minimum and tested version: 2.8.12.2)
• Download CEF3 binaries for Windows 32bit (mostly the trunk is used because this project is under high development tested with CEF 3.2494.1321.ge343da7)
• Copy contents of CEF3 binaries package into <ROOT>/3rdparty/cef3
• Run the cmake command in the <ROOT>/3rdparty/cef3 directory: cmake -G "Visual Studio 14"
• Open <ROOT>/projects/windows-desktop/windows-desktop.sln with Visual Studio 2015
• Change the properties of the 'libcef_dll_wrapper':
  • Debug
    • C/C++ -> Code Genration -> Runtime Library: Multi-threaded Debug DLL (/MDd)
  • Release
    • C/C++ -> Code Genration -> Runtime Library: Multi-threaded DLL (/MD)
• Build Debug or Release
• After building the output can be found in <ROOT>/dist/windows-desktop/Debug or Release

cordova-cef's Issues

Startup url in config: only local urls are supported

The startup URL can be configured in config.xml if it is local but not if it is remote. Look at the code it assumes a local url and prepends "file://".

New Cordova Plugins

How can I add new cordova plugins?
I want to add file & fileTransfer plugins.

Error compiling: LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_date_time-vc110-mt-sgd-1_55.lib'

Getting the following error while compiling windows-desktop project
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_date_time-vc110-mt-sgd-1_55.lib'

I found the following lib file \3rdparty\boost\stage\lib\libboost_date_time-vc110-mt-gd-1_55.lib instead, noticing there's only one character difference 's', making me suspect it's a typo somewhere in the program. However I'm not able to find where exactly the project is referencing 'libboost_date_time-vc110-mt-sgd-1_55.lib'. Can you share some lights on this? Thank.s

Could you explain how to use cordova-cef?

In the README, it says

• After building the output can be foun in <ROOT>/projects/windows-desktop/Debug or Release
  there are a bunch of .obj files after building the solution successfully, but I have no idea how to use it and what the purpose of these files are, can you explain?

thanks,
