Hi, is it possible to host a node app inside Qt app . i am not talking about webview where it loads the url and just acts like a browser.

What I want is a simple Node.JS app hosted in Qt application . I don't know if it's possible , has anyone tried it ?

Hi,

What do you mean by hosted ? What should that app do ?

hey , sorry for not being clear but what i meant by hosted was like node app is not hosted anywhere . So i added node code to my qt project and in main.cpp i create a Qprocess of node and then just provide localhost url to webengineview.

this solves my purpose.

So in short what i did was :

copied node app code to my qt project.
created a process of node running the node app via Qprocess.
provided localhost url:port to webengineview and it shows the app.
