ruffle-selfhosted is the intended way to get Ruffle onto your website.
You may either include it and forget about it, and we will polyfill existing Flash content, or use our APIs for custom configurations or more advanced usages of the Ruffle player.
For more examples and in-depth documentation on how to use Ruffle on your website, please check out our wiki.
The selfhosted
package is configured for websites that do not use bundlers or npm and just want
to get up and running. If you’d prefer to use Ruffle through npm and a bundler, please
refer to ruffle core.
Before you can get started with using Ruffle on your website, you must host its files yourself. Either take the latest build or build it yourself, and make these files accessible by your web server.
Please note that the .wasm
file must be served properly, and some web servers may not do that
correctly out of the box. Please see our wiki
for instructions on how to configure this, if you encounter a Incorrect response MIME type
error.
If you have an existing website with flash content, you can simply include Ruffle as a script and our polyfill magic will replace everything for you. No fuss, no mess.
<script src="path/to/ruffle/ruffle.js"></script>
If you want to control the Ruffle player, you may use our Javascript API.
<script>
window.RufflePlayer = window.RufflePlayer || {};
window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => {
let ruffle = window.RufflePlayer.newest();
let player = ruffle.createPlayer();
let container = document.getElementById("container");
container.appendChild(player);
player.load("movie.swf");
});
</script>
<script src="path/to/ruffle/ruffle.js"></script>
Please see the ruffle-web README.
