Introducing: Webviews for Botstack #33
Description
@pferdefleisch @ramonh @tosh @christophrumpel @legeekette @toshe @Cryt1c @evo42
Hi,
with 9c66197 I've added webview support. Now I am thinking about common webviews users would might need.
so far I´ve added a datepicker. Feel free to brainstorm Ideas.
@tosh: you already played around with camera support in webviews?
cheers,
David
how it works: bot framework creates a link to the webview - user has a small browser which loads a rails servlet. The HTML5 site makes a post request to another servlet which handles the request like a normal message. ecample: https://github.com/davidmann4/botstack/blob/master/app/views/webview/date_picker.html.erb
security: i generate a token (HMAC(user_id, rails_random_secret)) to sign the url of the webview. The webview also has a CSRF field. https://github.com/davidmann4/botstack/blob/master/app/controllers/webview_controller.rb#L6

I'm looking forward to see how you implemented this. You might want to look into https://github.com/trailblazer/cells for this. May be overkill but this is a great use case for it.

I haven't (camera) but @sido378 & @allanberger might know if camera access is already supported in webviews

datepicker: from - to
datepicker: single_date
datepicker: single_date_with_time
