A QML webview wrapper to support both QtWebEngine and Oxide through one simple QML API.

• Qt >= 5.5 (QtQuick >= 2.5)

Either ...

• QtWebEngine >= 1.2

... or ...

• Oxide >= 1.15 and Ubuntu.DownloadManager >= 0.1

git clone https://github.com/tim-sueberkrueb/slime-engine
cd slime-engine
qmake && make
sudo make install

Try the demo:

cd slime-engine
qmlscene demo/Demo.qml

Minimal example:

import QtQuick 2.5
import SlimeEngine 0.2

WebView {
    engine: Slime.detectEngine()
    // engine: WebEngine.Oxide
    // engine: WebEngine.QtWebEngine
    url: "http://github.com"
}

Remember to call QtWebEngine::initialize(); from C++ when you're using QtWebEngine.
