Class

WPEWebKitWebView

Description [src]

class WPEWebKit.WebView : GObject.Object {
  parent: GObject
}

The central class of the WPE WebKit and WebKitGTK APIs.

WebKitWebView is the central class of the WPE WebKit and WebKitGTK APIs. It is responsible for managing the drawing of the content and forwarding of events. You can load any URI into the WebKitWebView or a data string. With WebKitSettings you can control various aspects of the rendering and loading of the content.

Note that in WebKitGTK, WebKitWebView is scrollable by itself, so you don’t need to embed it in a GtkScrolledWindow.

Available since: 2.8

webkit_web_view_is_ephemeral

Get whether a WebKitWebView is ephemeral. To create an ephemeral WebKitWebView you need to use g_object_new() and pass is-ephemeral property with TRUE value. See WebKitWebView:is-ephemeral for more details. If web_view was created with a ephemeral WebKitWebView:related-view or an ephemeral WebKitWebView:web-context it will also be ephemeral.

Available since: 2.16

webkit_web_view_is_loading

Gets the value of the WebKitWebView:is-loading property. You can monitor when a WebKitWebView is loading a page by connecting to notify::is-loading signal of web_view. This is useful when you are interesting in knowing when the view is loading something but not in the details about the status of the load operation, for example to start a spinner when the view is loading a page and stop it when it finishes.

webkit_web_view_is_playing_audio

Gets the value of the WebKitWebView:is-playing-audio property. You can monitor when a page in a WebKitWebView is playing audio by connecting to the notify::is-playing-audio signal of web_view. This is useful when the application wants to provide visual feedback when a page is producing sound.

Available since: 2.8

webkit_web_view_load_alternate_html

Load the given content string for the URI content_uri. This allows clients to display page-loading errors in the WebKitWebView itself. When this method is called from WebKitWebView::load-failed signal to show an error page, then the back-forward list is maintained appropriately. For everything else this method works the same way as webkit_web_view_load_html().

webkit_web_view_load_bytes

Load the specified bytes into web_view using the given mime_type and encoding. When mime_type is NULL, it defaults to “text/html”. When encoding is NULL, it defaults to “UTF-8”.

Available since: 2.6

webkit_web_view_load_html

Load the given content string with the specified base_uri. If base_uri is not NULL, relative URLs in the content will be resolved against base_uri and absolute local paths must be children of the base_uri. For security reasons absolute local paths that are not children of base_uri will cause the web process to terminate. If you need to include URLs in content that are local paths in a different directory than base_uri you can build a data URI for them. When base_uri is NULL, it defaults to “about:blank”. The mime type of the document will be “text/html”. You can monitor the load operation by connecting to WebKitWebView::load-changed signal.

webkit_web_view_load_plain_text

Load the specified plain_text string into web_view. The mime type of document will be “text/plain”. You can monitor the load operation by connecting to WebKitWebView::load-changed signal.

Methods inherited from GObject (42)

Please see GObject for a full list of methods.

Properties

WPEWebKit.WebView:automation-presentation-type

The WebKitAutomationBrowsingContextPresentation of WebKitWebView. This should only be used when creating a new WebKitWebView as a response to WebKitAutomationSession::create-web-view signal request. If the new WebView was added to a new tab of current browsing context window WEBKIT_AUTOMATION_BROWSING_CONTEXT_PRESENTATION_TAB should be used.

Available since: 2.28

WPEWebKit.WebView:backend

The WebKitWebViewBackend of the view.

Available since: 2.20

WPEWebKit.WebView:camera-capture-state

Capture state of the camera device. Whenever the user grants a media-request sent by the web page, requesting video capture capabilities (navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({video: true})) this property will be set to WEBKIT_MEDIA_CAPTURE_STATE_ACTIVE.

Available since: 2.34

WPEWebKit.WebView:display-capture-state

Capture state of the display device. Whenever the user grants a media-request sent by the web page, requesting screencasting capabilities (navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia() this property will be set toWEBKIT_MEDIA_CAPTURE_STATE_ACTIVE`.

Available since: 2.34

WPEWebKit.WebView:editable

Whether the pages loaded inside WebKitWebView are editable. For more information see webkit_web_view_set_editable().

Available since: 2.8

WPEWebKit.WebView:estimated-load-progress

An estimate of the percent completion for the current loading operation. This value will range from 0.0 to 1.0 and, once a load completes, will remain at 1.0 until a new load starts, at which point it will be reset to 0.0. The value is an estimate based on the total number of bytes expected to be received for a document, including all its possible subresources and child documents.

WPEWebKit.WebView:is-controlled-by-automation

Whether the WebKitWebView is controlled by automation. This should only be used when creating a new WebKitWebView as a response to WebKitAutomationSession::create-web-view signal request.

Available since: 2.18

WPEWebKit.WebView:is-ephemeral

Whether the WebKitWebView is ephemeral. An ephemeral web view never writes website data to the client storage, no matter what WebKitWebsiteDataManager its context is using. This is normally used to implement private browsing mode. This is a G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT_ONLY property, so you have to create an ephemeral WebKitWebView and it can’t be changed. The ephemeral WebKitWebsiteDataManager created for the WebKitWebView will inherit the network settings from the WebKitWebContext‘s WebKitWebsiteDataManager. To use different settings you can get the WebKitWebsiteDataManager with webkit_web_view_get_website_data_manager() and set the new ones. Note that all WebKitWebViews created with an ephemeral WebKitWebContext will be ephemeral automatically. See also webkit_web_context_new_ephemeral().

Available since: 2.16

WPEWebKit.WebView:is-loading

Whether the WebKitWebView is currently loading a page. This property becomes TRUE as soon as a new load operation is requested and before the WebKitWebView::load-changed signal is emitted with WEBKIT_LOAD_STARTED and at that point the active URI is the requested one. When the load operation finishes the property is set to FALSE before WebKitWebView::load-changed is emitted with WEBKIT_LOAD_FINISHED.

WPEWebKit.WebView:is-muted

Whether the WebKitWebView audio is muted. When TRUE, audio is silenced. It may still be playing, i.e. WebKitWebView:is-playing-audio may be TRUE.

Available since: 2.30

WPEWebKit.WebView:is-playing-audio

Whether the WebKitWebView is currently playing audio from a page. This property becomes TRUE as soon as web content starts playing any kind of audio. When a page is no longer playing any kind of sound, the property is set back to FALSE.

Available since: 2.8

WPEWebKit.WebView:is-web-process-responsive

Whether the web process currently associated to the WebKitWebView is responsive.

Available since: 2.34

WPEWebKit.WebView:settings

The WebKitSettings of the view.

Available since: 2.6

WPEWebKit.WebView:title

The main frame document title of this WebKitWebView. If the title has not been received yet, it will be NULL.

The zoom level of the WebKitWebView content. See webkit_web_view_set_zoom_level() for more details.

Signals

WPEWebKit.WebView::authenticate

This signal is emitted when the user is challenged with HTTP authentication. To let the application access or supply the credentials as well as to allow the client application to either cancel the request or perform the authentication, the signal will pass an instance of the WebKitAuthenticationRequest in the request argument. To handle this signal asynchronously you should keep a ref of the request and return TRUE. To disable HTTP authentication entirely, connect to this signal and simply return TRUE.

Available since: 2.2

WPEWebKit.WebView::close

Emitted when closing a WebKitWebView is requested. This occurs when a call is made from JavaScript’s window.close function or after trying to close the web_view with webkit_web_view_try_close(). It is the owner’s responsibility to handle this signal to hide or destroy the WebKitWebView, if necessary.

WPEWebKit.WebView::context-menu

Emitted when a context menu is about to be displayed to give the application a chance to customize the proposed menu, prevent the menu from being displayed, or build its own context menu. To customize the proposed menu you can use webkit_context_menu_prepend(), webkit_context_menu_append() or webkit_context_menu_insert() to add new WebKitContextMenuItems to context_menu, webkit_context_menu_move_item() to reorder existing items, or webkit_context_menu_remove() to remove an existing item. The signal handler should return FALSE, and the menu represented by context_menu will be shown. To prevent the menu from being displayed you can just connect to this signal and return TRUE so that the proposed menu will not be shown. To build your own menu, you can remove all items from the proposed menu with webkit_context_menu_remove_all(), add your own items and return FALSE so that the menu will be shown. You can also ignore the proposed WebKitContextMenu, build your own GtkMenu and return TRUE to prevent the proposed menu from being shown. If you just want the default menu to be shown always, simply don’t connect to this signal because showing the proposed context menu is the default behaviour.

WPEWebKit.WebView::context-menu-dismissed

Emitted after WebKitWebView::context-menu signal, if the context menu is shown, to notify that the context menu is dismissed.

WPEWebKit.WebView::create

Emitted when the creation of a new WebKitWebView is requested. If this signal is handled the signal handler should return the newly created WebKitWebView.

WPEWebKit.WebView::decide-policy

This signal is emitted when WebKit is requesting the client to decide a policy decision, such as whether to navigate to a page, open a new window or whether or not to download a resource. The WebKitNavigationPolicyDecision passed in the decision argument is a generic type, but should be casted to a more specific type when making the decision. For example:

WPEWebKit.WebView::enter-fullscreen

Emitted when JavaScript code calls element.webkitRequestFullScreen. If the signal is not handled the WebKitWebView will proceed to full screen its top level window. This signal can be used by client code to request permission to the user prior doing the full screen transition and eventually prepare the top-level window (e.g. hide some widgets that would otherwise be part of the full screen window).

WPEWebKit.WebView::insecure-content-detected

This signal is emitted when insecure content has been detected in a page loaded through a secure connection. This typically means that a external resource from an unstrusted source has been run or displayed, resulting in a mix of HTTPS and non-HTTPS content.

WPEWebKit.WebView::leave-fullscreen

Emitted when the WebKitWebView is about to restore its top level window out of its full screen state. This signal can be used by client code to restore widgets hidden during the WebKitWebView::enter-fullscreen stage for instance.

WPEWebKit.WebView::load-changed

Emitted when a load operation in web_view changes. The signal is always emitted with WEBKIT_LOAD_STARTED when a new load request is made and WEBKIT_LOAD_FINISHED when the load finishes successfully or due to an error. When the ongoing load operation fails WebKitWebView::load-failed signal is emitted before WebKitWebView::load-changed is emitted with WEBKIT_LOAD_FINISHED. If a redirection is received from the server, this signal is emitted with WEBKIT_LOAD_REDIRECTED after the initial emission with WEBKIT_LOAD_STARTED and before WEBKIT_LOAD_COMMITTED. When the page content starts arriving the signal is emitted with WEBKIT_LOAD_COMMITTED event.

WPEWebKit.WebView::load-failed

Emitted when an error occurs during a load operation. If the error happened when starting to load data for a page load_event will be WEBKIT_LOAD_STARTED. If it happened while loading a committed data source load_event will be WEBKIT_LOAD_COMMITTED. Since a load error causes the load operation to finish, the signal WebKitWebView::load-changed will always be emitted with WEBKIT_LOAD_FINISHED event right after this one.

WPEWebKit.WebView::load-failed-with-tls-errors

Emitted when a TLS error occurs during a load operation. To allow an exception for this certificate and the host of failing_uri use webkit_web_context_allow_tls_certificate_for_host().

Available since: 2.6

WPEWebKit.WebView::mouse-target-changed

This signal is emitted when the mouse cursor moves over an element such as a link, image or a media element. To determine what type of element the mouse cursor is over, a Hit Test is performed on the current mouse coordinates and the result is passed in the hit_test_result argument. The modifiers argument is a bitmask of GdkModifierType flags indicating the state of modifier keys. The signal is emitted again when the mouse is moved out of the current element with a new hit_test_result.

WPEWebKit.WebView::permission-request

This signal is emitted when WebKit is requesting the client to decide about a permission request, such as allowing the browser to switch to fullscreen mode, sharing its location or similar operations.

WPEWebKit.WebView::ready-to-show

Emitted after WebKitWebView::create on the newly created WebKitWebView when it should be displayed to the user. When this signal is emitted all the information about how the window should look, including size, position, whether the location, status and scrollbars should be displayed, is already set on the WebKitWindowProperties of web_view. See also webkit_web_view_get_window_properties().

WPEWebKit.WebView::resource-load-started

Emitted when a new resource is going to be loaded. The request parameter contains the WebKitURIRequest that will be sent to the server. You can monitor the load operation by connecting to the different signals of resource.

WPEWebKit.WebView::run-as-modal

Emitted after WebKitWebView::ready-to-show on the newly created WebKitWebView when JavaScript code calls window.showModalDialog. The purpose of this signal is to allow the client application to prepare the new view to behave as modal. Once the signal is emitted a new main loop will be run to block user interaction in the parent WebKitWebView until the new dialog is closed.

WPEWebKit.WebView::run-file-chooser

This signal is emitted when the user interacts with a <input type=’file’ /> HTML element, requesting from WebKit to show a dialog to select one or more files to be uploaded. To let the application know the details of the file chooser, as well as to allow the client application to either cancel the request or perform an actual selection of files, the signal will pass an instance of the WebKitFileChooserRequest in the request argument.

WPEWebKit.WebView::script-dialog

Emitted when JavaScript code calls window.alert, window.confirm or window.prompt, or when onbeforeunload event is fired. The dialog parameter should be used to build the dialog. If the signal is not handled a different dialog will be built and shown depending on the dialog type: WEBKIT_SCRIPT_DIALOG_ALERT: message dialog with a single Close button. WEBKIT_SCRIPT_DIALOG_CONFIRM: message dialog with OK and Cancel buttons. WEBKIT_SCRIPT_DIALOG_PROMPT: message dialog with OK and Cancel buttons and a text entry with the default text.

Available since: 2.8

WPEWebKit.WebView::show-option-menu

This signal is emitted when a select element in web_view needs to display a dropdown menu. This signal can be used to show a custom menu, using menu to get the details of all items that should be displayed. The area of the element in the WebKitWebView is given as rectangle parameter, it can be used to position the menu. To handle this signal asynchronously you should keep a ref of the menu.

Available since: 2.28

WPEWebKit.WebView::submit-form

This signal is emitted when a form is about to be submitted. The request argument passed contains information about the text fields of the form. This is typically used to store login information that can be used later to pre-fill the form. The form will not be submitted until webkit_form_submission_request_submit() is called.

WPEWebKit.WebView::user-message-received

This signal is emitted when a WebKitUserMessage is received from the WebKitWebPage corresponding to web_view. You can reply to the message using webkit_user_message_send_reply().
