#@lynx-js/cef-webview

@lynx-js/cef-webview is the officially maintained Lynxtron native library that provides the CEF-backed <webview> element. It ships platform-specific Lynxtron native artifacts and a ./lynxtron entry that loads the current platform artifact so its static Lynx registrations run in the host process.

#Install

npm install @lynx-js/cef-webview

yarn add @lynx-js/cef-webview

pnpm add @lynx-js/cef-webview

bun add @lynx-js/cef-webview

deno add npm:@lynx-js/cef-webview

#Host Entry

Import the Lynxtron entry in the main process before creating a LynxWindow or loading a Lynx bundle:

import cefWebview from '@lynx-js/cef-webview/lynxtron';

cefWebview.initialize();

The initialize() method initializes Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) for the current process. AutoLink also uses the ./lynxtron entry when staging the package for a Lynxtron host build.
