Building from source

You need the Rust toolchain and the napi-rs CLI.

git clone https://github.com/webviewjs/webview
cd webview
npm install
npm run build   # compiles Rust and generates JS bindings

The compiled native addon is placed in <platform>-<arch>/ (e.g. win32-x64-msvc/) and index.js is updated automatically.
