Boson

Why Boson? Because it's not an Electron! And much easier than that =)

• See example directory.

Requirements

• Windows OS
• PHP 8.3+ (64bit, TS or NTS)
• ext-ffi

Known Issues

• The WebView Controller is initialized ONLY after the window has been moved, otherwise Failed to create WebView Controller has been thrown.
• The WebView is not rendering at the moment.
• Multiple windows is not supported.
• Holding windows in PHP GC (including handling their messages) after closing the window.

App Example

use Serafim\Boson\Application;
use Serafim\Boson\Event\WebView\WebViewCreatedEvent;
use Serafim\Boson\Window\CreateInfo;

$app = new Application();

$app->on(WebViewCreatedEvent::class, function (WebViewCreatedEvent $e): void {
    $e->subject->uri = 'https://nesk.me';
});

$window = $app->create(new CreateInfo(title: 'Example Application'));
$window->position->center();

$app->run();
