leptos-webview
Status: Coming. Proof of concept done.
What
Run a Leptos-powered WebView from Swift/Kotlin.
- Create a client-side rendered Leptos app.
- Implement any server-side APIs so that they can be packaged into a library.
- Package the app (generated website) and the library using the mobile package crates into a
Swift Package and an Android
.aar
archive including the resources so that it is completely standalone. - Auto-generate the Swift and Kotlin code needed to launch the WebView and to bridge the WebView to the Rust library. Uses UniFFI.
- Create the WebView from within your mobile app directly from Kotlin/Swift.
Why
Develop all the platform-independent parts in Rust & Leptos but keep the full power of Xcode/Swift and Android/Kotlin for the platform specific parts.
- By creating the WebView from within your mobile app using Kotlin/Swift you can decide if all your app should be fully Leptos based or only parts of it.
- Since you are in the native code, it's easy to integrate with native features.
- You create your projects using Xcode and Android Studio and you have the full power of those environments and the complete set of configuration options.
- You use standard Swift Packages and Android aar archives.
