README

Why Boson? Because it's not an Electron! And much easier than that =)

By the way, there is more information about the project in the documentation.

Also, this repository contains included high level PHP bindings for Saucer v6.0.

Application Example

$app = new Boson\Application();

$app->webview->html = <<<'HTML'
    <button onclick="foo('HELLO');">Hello</button>
    HTML;

$app->webview->bind('foo', var_dump(...));

$app->run();

Installation

Boson package is available as Composer repository and can be installed using the following command in a root of your project:

$ composer require boson-php/runtime
