README

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

• See example directory.

Requirements

• Windows OS
• PHP 8.3+ (64bit, TS or NTS)
• ext-ffi

Known Issues

• The WebView Controller is initialized ONLY after the window has been moved, otherwise Failed to create WebView Controller has been thrown.
• The WebView is not rendering at the moment.
• Multiple windows is not supported.
• Holding windows in PHP GC (including handling their messages) after closing the window.

App Example

use Serafim\Boson\Application;
use Serafim\Boson\Event\WebView\WebViewCreatedEvent;
use Serafim\Boson\Window\CreateInfo;

$app = new Application();

$app->on(WebViewCreatedEvent::class, function (WebViewCreatedEvent $e): void {
    $e->subject->uri = 'https://nesk.me';
});

$window = $app->create(new CreateInfo(title: 'Example Application'));
$window->position->center();

$app->run();

Short Documentation

use Serafim\Boson\Application;
use Serafim\Boson\Event;
use Serafim\Boson\Window\CreateInfo;
use Serafim\Boson\Window\Position;
use Serafim\Boson\Window\Size;

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

// Window Factory
$app = new Application();

// Window Instance
$window = $app->create(new CreateInfo(
    title: 'My Window', // Optional, default empty string
    width: 640,         // Optional, default 0
    height: 480,        // Optional, default 0
    resizable: true,    // Optional, default false
    closable: true,     // Optional, default true
    debug: true,        // Optional, default false
));

// Add event listener
$listener = $app->on(Event\EventName::class, function (Event\EventName $event) { 
    // Something happened
});

$listener = $app->on(Event\HookName::class, function (Event\HookName $hook) { 
    // Something is going to happen
    
    // We can "block" this action
    $hook->stopPropagation();
    
    // Also some things can be changed
    $hook->data = 42; 
});

// Remove event listener or hook
$app->off(Event\EventName::class, $listener);

// Events and hooks list.
// - Each hook is a type of event that can be used to control the operation
//   of the application. Any hook is mutable.
// - Every event is an immutable result of some action.

// === Application ===
$app->on(Event\Application\AppStartingHook::class,...);     // Application starts
$app->on(Event\Application\AppStartedEvent::class, ...);    // Application is started
$app->on(Event\Application\AppStoppingHook::class,...);     // Application stops
$app->on(Event\Application\AppStoppedEvent::class, ...);    // Application is stopped

// === Window ===
$app->on(Event\Window\WindowFocusLostEvent::class, ...);        // Window loses focus
$app->on(Event\Window\WindowClosedEvent::class, ...);           // Window is closed
$app->on(Event\Window\WindowCreatedEvent::class, ...);          // Window is created
$app->on(Event\Window\WindowFocusReceivedEvent::class, ...);    // Window gains focus
$app->on(Event\Window\WindowHiddenEvent::class, ...);           // Window is hidden
$app->on(Event\Window\WindowMovedEvent::class, ...);            // Window is moved
$app->on(Event\Window\WindowResizeEvent::class, ...);           // Window is resized
$app->on(Event\Window\WindowShownEvent::class, ...);            // Window is shown

// === WebView ===
$app->on(Event\WebView\WebViewCreatedEvent::class, ...);        // WebView is created
$app->on(Event\WebView\WebViewNavigationStarted::class, ...);   // WebView navigation starts
$app->on(Event\WebView\WebViewNavigationCompleted::class, ...); // WebView navigation is successfully completed
$app->on(Event\WebView\WebViewNavigationFailed::class, ...);    // WebView navigation fails

// [get; set] Change window size
$window->size->width = 640;
$window->size->height = 480;

// [get; set] Atomic window resize
$window->size = new Size(
    width: 800,
    height: 600,
);

// [get; set] Change window position
$window->position->x = 100;
$window->position->y = 100;

// [get; set] Atomic window move
$window->position = new Position(
    x: 200,
    y: 200,
);

// Move to center of screen
$window->position->center();

// [get; set] Change window icon (string|null)
// Only ICO format is supported now 
$window->icon = __DIR__ . '/path/to/icon.ico';

// [get; set] Change window title (string)
$window->title = 'Hello World!';

// [get] Window Handle (object { ptr: CData<HWND> })
dump($window->handle);
