Gtk3::WebKit2(3pm)

✨ Gtk3::WebKit2 — the vibe ✨

okay so bestie, this is Gtk3::WebKit2, a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual (section 3pm, iykyk). it's literally WebKit2 bindings for Perl and i am obsessed 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

Gtk3::WebKit2 — WebKit2 bindings for Perl 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole vibe, copy-paste ready, no cap:

use Gtk3 -init;
use Gtk3::WebKit2;

my ($url) = shift @ARGV || 'http://search.cpan.org/';

my $window = Gtk3::Window->new('toplevel');
$window->set_default_size(800, 600);
$window->signal_connect(destroy => sub { Gtk3->main_quit() });

# Create a WebKit2 widget
my $view = Gtk3::WebKit2::WebView->new();

# Load a page
$view->load_uri($url);

# Pack the widgets together
my $scrolls = Gtk3::ScrolledWindow->new();
$scrolls->add($view);
$window->add($scrolls);
$window->show_all();

Gtk3->main();

so you make a window, you make a Gtk3::WebKit2::WebView, you load_uri, you shove it all into a Gtk3::ScrolledWindow, and then Gtk3->main() carries the whole thing. main character energy fr fr 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

this module is giving you the Perl bindings for the Gtk3 port of WebKit2. that's it, that's the whole thing. that's the serve 💅

---

🎀 INSTALLATION 🎀

🖥️ "Headless" Debian based systems (inc Ubuntu)

if you're running an X Server (aka you have a desktop environment) then you're fine, go off 💖

but if you're trying to install this on a "headless" server? then bestie you're gonna need a framebuffer display to step in and take the place of the X server. like a substitute teacher but for graphics 🧚

the xvfb-run command can do this for you. slay.

with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, you'll need these (or more recent) extra deb packages — not me listing them, they're required:

xvfb libgirepository1.0-dev pkg-config libgtk-3-dev libglib2.0-dev libglib2.0-0 gir1.2-webkit2-4.1

at which point everything should "just work". iconic. ✨
