It would be great to have a prebuilt distribution that's easily embeddable

[ZECTBynmo]

I would really like to embed node-webkit into my C++ application. As I understand it, the only way I can embed node-webkit into my solution would be to build it from scratch. It would be great if there was a prebuilt distribution that I could embed easily without building the entire webkit chain.

node-webkit is not designed for embedding, and we even don't have public interface to do that. Maybe you would be interested in cef, which is designed for embedding a browser window in third party applications.

@ZECTBynmo , it's hard to redesign the whole project and make it embeddable, but there is another way to use node-webkit with your C++ code: make your C++ code a node module then it should run on node-webkit.

Thanks for the responses. I've been looking at cef at your recommendation, the appjs implementation in particular, and it seems like a solid course. Thanks for the help!

Unfortunately I can't run my application as a node module, otherwise that would definitely be the path of least resistance.

Moving forward with CEF you might want to pay attention to CEF3, which is multi-process and aligns with the up-to-date chromium architecture.

AppJs is still with CEF1 IIRC.
