Question : How do you specify the path to a local web page (html file) to be displayed (served by) Webview

[serge-hulne]

I tried:

require "webview"

# wv = Webview.window(640, 480, Webview::SizeHints::NONE, "Hello WebView", "http://127.0.0.1:3000", true)
wv = Webview.window(640, 480, Webview::SizeHints::NONE, "Hello WebView", "mint/dist/index.html")
wv.run
wv.destroy

wv.bind("myAlert", Webview::JSProc.new { 
  pp "My Alert !"
  JSON::Any.new("My Alert")
})

I tried with absolute path, then with: "mint/dist/index.html" and then with: "./mint/dist/index.html" and "../mint/dist/index.html"

But it didn't work.

You can't simply pass the path of File for webview browser to open. You will have to either provide a URL of web server or use Data URL with data:text/html, XXXXXX where XXXXX are the HTML contents.

Please bear in mind that data urls have some limitations on the size of data which is passed and it varies from browser to browser.

Example provide in README make use of both techniques mentioned above.
