Gtk Webkit Ruby

Requires

• rubber-generate >= 0.0.17
• rake-compiler, rake to build
• ruby-gnome2 (including development files)
• webkit (including development files)

Changes

• 0.0.4 - 16 Nov 2012
• Use rubygems to find Ruby-GNOME2 installation (fixes #2, missing rbglib.h header file)
• Wrap stored JS ref pointer with Data_Wrap_Struct (fixes GC bug)

Description

Gtk Webkit bindings for ruby. Partial coverage sufficient to embed a webview in a ruby-gnome2 application.

Also experimental support for allowing ruby code to be called by javascript & executing javascript from ruby.

e.g

    require 'gtk2'
    require 'webkit'
    require 'digest/md5'

    v = WebKit::WebView.new
    v.main_frame.setup_ruby

    v.main_frame.add_js_api('md5') do |what|
        Digest::MD5.hexdigest(what)
    end

    puts v.main_frame.exec_js("ruby_eval('RUBY_DESCRIPTION')")
    puts v.main_frame.exec_js("md5('foo')")
    puts Digest::MD5.hexdigest('foo')
