chrome-embedded-demo

Simple demo using the chrome embedded framework with CFE4Delphi to load a Polymer2 SPA as a desktop App.

Building 😰

1. Install CEF4Delphi: https://www.briskbard.com/index.php?lang=en&pageid=cef as a component in your IDE.
2. Add library path to /sources.
3. Open this project
4. Download required runtime dependencies for the CEF library from spotify..
5. Copy files from /Release and /Resources into the build output folder.
6. Build the project and run.

What now 😕

• Passing messages between the web context and the desktop app?
• Find an actual use-case/project where we can use this.

Why CEF? 💥

• it provides strong and rich client features, such as HTML5, css, javascript audio playback etc.
• its used by Steam, Spotify, Battle.net, League of Legends, UPlay, Minecraft, Unity 3D, Unreal Engine
• cant we just use the browser? well sometimes you just want to be a desktop app I guess.
