Chromium Embedded Framework Webview for Godot

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 Godot 3.5: https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/1426
• For Godot 4.2: https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/2508

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:

• https://github.com/Lecrapouille/gdcef/tree/godot-3.x for Godot 3.4 or 3.5 (no longer maintained).
• https://github.com/Lecrapouille/gdcef/tree/godot-4.x for Godot 4.2 and later.
• Note: Godot before 3.4, Godot 4.0 and 4.1 versions have not been tested and are not be supported.

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.

Announcement: for Linux users for version >= 0.10.0, exporting LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_PRELOAD is no longer needed! Do not forget to remove them from your environment (i.e. bashrc)!
