minimal

Minimal Example Application

This directory contains the "minimal" target which demonstrates the minimal functionality required to build an executable using the shared library target.

See the shared library target for details common to all executable targets.

Implementation Overview

The "minimal" target is implemented as follows:

• Define the target-specific CMake build configuration in the CMakeLists.txt file.
• Call the shared entry point functions that initialize, run and shut down CEF.
  • Main process (all platforms): main_minimal.cc
  • Sub-process (macOS only): process_helper_mac_minimal.cc
• Implement the shared::Create*ProcessApp functions to create a CefApp instance appropriate to the process type.
  • Browser process: app_browser_minimal.cc implements the shared::CreateBrowserProcessApp method to return a CefApp instance.
    • The OnContextInitialized method creates the initial CefBrowser instance using the shared::CreateBrowser helper function.
  • Renderer process: app_renderer_minimal.cc implements the shared::CreateRendererProcessApp method to return NULL (no CefApp for this process).
  • Other sub-processes: app_other_minimal.cc implements the shared::CreateOtherProcessApp method to return NULL (no CefApp for this process).
• Provide a concrete CefClient implementation in client_minimal.cc and client_minimal.h to handle CefBrowser callbacks.

Other targets use the minimal implementation source files (*_minimal.cc) in cases where example-specific customization is not required.

Configuration

See the shared library target for configuration details.
