Hi, I have success do call delphi code from js, here is the way：

open the guiclient demo, you will notice the following code at the main.pas

initialization
  CefRemoteDebuggingPort := 9000;
  CefRenderProcessHandler := TCustomRenderProcessHandler.Create;
  CefBrowserProcessHandler := TCefBrowserProcessHandlerOwn.Create;

the point is CefRenderProcessHandler := TCustomRenderProcessHandler.Create; this line will tell CEF to execute the TCustomRenderProcessHandler.OnWebKitInitialized function, in this function：

procedure TCustomRenderProcessHandler.OnWebKitInitialized;
begin
{$IFDEF DELPHI14_UP}
  TCefRTTIExtension.Register('app', TTestExtension);
{$ENDIF}
end;

will register a js extension, named app, with the implementation by TTestExtension

TTestExtension = class
    class function hello: string;
    class procedure mouseover(const data: string);
  end;


{ TTestExtension }

class procedure TTestExtension.mouseover(const data: string);
var
  msg: ICefProcessMessage;
begin
  msg := TCefProcessMessageRef.New('mouseover');
  msg.ArgumentList.SetString(0, data);
  TCefv8ContextRef.Current.Browser.SendProcessMessage(PID_BROWSER, msg);
end;

class function TTestExtension.hello: string;
begin
  Result := 'Hello from Delphi';
end;

so, you can all app.hello in the js code which will return 'Hello from Delphi'.

But please notice that, all the code executes in the render process, not in the main process, so, in the implementation code, do not directly call TForm or the main process's functions, or will led to exception, you need to send message by call SendProcessMessage of the browser demonstrated by the code above with mouseover function.

Thanks for all the authors of this project, like @hgourvest ， @boomsya who make this great project, it is more stable than CEF4delphi, thank you.
