How to make only the the server running? (Do not create browser window) #330

Closed bin-san closed 7 months ago

bin-san commented 7 months ago

How can I make a webserver using webui, without using the native window? I mean the program will run the server locally, then I have to access it via web browser. I dont want to create native window... Is it possible?

I guess, yes, using NoBrowser.

webui_show_browser(myWindow, "<html>...</html>", NoBrowser);

bin-san commented 7 months ago 
#include <webui.hpp>

int main() {

    webui::window myWindow;
    myWindow.show_browser(
        "<html><script src=\"webui.js\"></script> Hello World from C++! </html>", 
        NoBrowser);
    webui::wait();
    return 0;
}

But now How can I know which port it is running on?

Use webui_get_url(), it returns HOST:PORT.

 myWindow.get_url();
