bonboneka 0.1.65

Bundle HTML/CSS/JS into an Android WebView app

🍬 Bonboneka (bomk)

Bonboneka allows you to bundle your HTML, CSS, and JS assets into a native Android WebView app with a single command(yea its that cool). Why did i do this? Because its REALLY hard to convert a website into an (android) app, and i wanted to make it easier for everyone.(yeah its really straightforward), JUST 1 COMMAND.

Features

• Automatic Inlining: Converts external CSS and JS into a single, self-contained HTML file.
• Asset Encoding: Automatically converts images into Base64 data URIs.
• Multi-Bundle Support: Define multiple entry points and bundles using a simple naming convention.

Requirements

• Python: 3.10+
• Git(of course you need git)
• Android SDK + Java: Necessary for...I don't know, BUILDING THE APP?!

🛠 Installation

There are 2 ways to install:

• 1. [RECOMANDED] Running pip install bonboneka, as it's avabile on PiPy
• 2. Dowloading the latest release and running pip install -e .

Usage

bomk create <path/to/folder> [options]

Options

• /s Silent mode: Suppress all terminal output.
• /verbose Verbose mode: Show detailed build logs.
• -o <dir> Output: Specify the directory for the generated APK.
• --icon <path> Icon: Set a custom icon for the app.

File Naming Convention

To define which bundle a file belongs to, tag the filename with _$ before the extension.

Example Structure:

my_app/
├── index_$1.html          ← Main entry point (Group 1)
├── styles_$1.css          ← Styles for Group 1
├── script_$1.js           ← Logic for Group 1
├── start_$2.html          ← Secondary page (Group 2)
├── styleofstart_$2.css    ← Styles for Group 2
└── backend_$2.js          ← Logic for Group 2

NOTE!

Group $1 is always treated as the app's primary entry point. All assets in a group are bundled into one self-contained HTML file.

⚙️ Configuration

Customize your build environment by editing bomk/config.py:

# The repository used as the Android project scaffold
TEMPLATE_REPO      = "https://github.com/YourUser/Example-Android-WV-App.git"
# Relative paths within the template
ASSETS_REL_PATH    = "app/src/main/assets"
MAIN_JAVA_REL_PATH = "app/src/main/java/exampleWV/app/Main.java"

🌐 Encased Mode

Bonboneka can create a wrapper for an website

bomk create --encased <url> [options]

Example:

bomk create --encased https://example.com -o ./dist /verbose

Bonboneka will:

• Generate an html file
• Take the url
• Add an iframe
• Add the website to the iframe
• Generate a WebView Android project
• Build the APK automatically

bomk doctor - Troubleshooting advisor

The bomk doctor command will troubleshoot any valid Bonboneka projects. Usage:

bomk doctor <path-to-project>

This command will check for common issues such as:

• Missing or misnamed files
• Incorrect file naming conventions
• etc etc.

[BETA] Gitlink

Gitlink is a feature that lets you link a template to an existing GitHub repo. In other words overiding the default template's github remote with your own. By using the --behaviour flag, you can specify if you want to commit automaticly(per build) or if you want to commit manualy (bomk gitlink --commit). List of comands:

• bomk gitlink --behaviour <commit-per-build/manual-commit>
• bomk gitlink --url/--set <url>
• bomk gitlink --commit/--push(or you can put both)

To note: Gitlink is in BETA and has not undergone rigorous testing, it might break/not work.
