[webkit-gtk] Exposing GObjects in a Webview JS context

[Alexandre Mazari]

Hi,

I just submited a patch against Seed allowing its initialization within an
existing JSGlobalContext.
The main usecase is to give a Webview js context access to Seed-binded
GObject libraries.
This way, it will be possible to fully define our UIs in HTML5/JS/CSS3 on
top of our rich ecosystem of libraries and daemons.

As a proof of concept, a small app is also provided in bugzilla, binding
within th HTML file a DOM event to a native GObject call (for instance, a
call to libnotify).
The actual Seed initialization happens at the Webview
"window-object-cleared" signal reception, giving us a hold on a
JSGlobalContext reference.
So any comment, remark on the patch and the design is appreciated :)
