Whether you need to display web pages, load web content from local files, or handle JavaScript interactions, the DNWKWebViewController library has you covered.
Features
- Easy integration of web content into iOS applications
- Flexible customization options
- Support for loading web pages from URLs
- Ability to load local web content from files
- JavaScript interaction and communication
- Support for handling web view events
- Error handling and alert presentation
Installation
To install the DNWKWebViewController library, follow these steps:
- Open your Xcode project.
- Go to File -> Swift Packages -> Add Package Dependency.
- Enter the package repository URL: https://github.com/your-repository-url.
- Choose the version or branch you want to use.
- Click Next, then Add Package. Xcode will start fetching and resolving the package.
- Once the package is resolved, you can import it in your code with:
// Swift
import DNWKWebViewController
// Objective-C
@import DNWKWebViewController;
Usage
To use the DNWKWebViewController in your iOS application, follow these steps:
- Create an instance of the
DNWKWebViewController
class. - Customize the view controller and web view properties as needed.
- Load web content into the web view using either a URL or local file path.
- Implement any necessary JavaScript interactions or event handlers.
- Present the view controller either modally or embed it in a navigation controller.
Example usage:
// Swift
let webViewController = DNWKWebViewController()
webViewController.url = URL(string: "https://www.example.com")
// Objective-C
DNWKWebViewController *webViewController = [[DNWKWebViewController alloc] init];
webViewController.url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://www.example.com"];
// Presentation
self.present(webViewController, animated: true, completion: nil);
Customization
The DNWKWebViewController library provides several customization options to tailor the appearance and behavior of the web view controller. Some of the available properties include:
background color
: The background color of the web view.navigation bar color
: The color of the navigation bar.navigation item title
: The title displayed in the navigation bar.toolbar items
: The items displayed in the toolbar.
Example customization:
// Swift
webViewController.backgroundColor = .white
webViewController.navigationBarColor = .blue
webViewController.navigationItemTitle = "Web Content"
webViewController.toolbarItems = [refreshButtonItem, backButtonItem, forwardButtonItem]
// Objective-C
webViewController.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
webViewController.navigationBarColor = [UIColor blueColor];
webViewController.navigationItemTitle = @"Web Content";
webViewController.toolbarItems = @[refreshButtonItem, backButtonItem, forwardButtonItem];
JavaScript Interactions
The DNWKWebViewController library allows you to interact with JavaScript running in the web view. You can execute JavaScript code and receive results asynchronously. Some of the available methods include:
evaluateJavaScript(_:)`
: Executes the given JavaScript code and returns the result.addScriptMessageHandler(_:name:)
: Registers a handler for JavaScript messages with the specified name.
Example JavaScript interaction:
// Swift
webViewController.evaluateJavaScript("document.getElementById('myButton').click()") { (result, error) in
if let error = error {
print("JavaScript execution error: \(error)")
} else if let result = result {
print("JavaScript execution result: \(result)")
}
}
webViewController.addScriptMessageHandler(self, name: "messageHandlerName")
// Objective-C
[webViewController evaluateJavaScript:@"document.getElementById('myButton').click()"
completionHandler:^(id _Nullable result, NSError * _Nullable error) {
if (error) {
NSLog(@"JavaScript execution error: %@", error);
} else if (result) {
NSLog(@"JavaScript execution result: %@", result);
}
}];
[webViewController addScriptMessageHandler:self name:@"messageHandlerName"];
Events Handling
The DNWKWebViewController library provides several delegate methods that allow you to handle web view events and customize the behavior accordingly. Some of the available methods include:
didStartLoading
: Called when the web view starts loading content.didFinishLoading
: Called when the web view finishes loading content.didFailLoading(withError:)
: Called when the web view fails to load content.didReceiveScriptMessage(_:)
: Called when a JavaScript message is received from the web view.
To handle these events, you need to conform to the DNWKWebViewControllerDelegate
protocol and implement the corresponding methods.
// Swift
webViewController.delegate = self
// Objective-C
webViewController.delegate = self;
// Swift
extension YourViewController: DNWKWebViewControllerDelegate {
func dnwkWebViewControllerDidStartLoading(_ webViewController: DNWKWebViewController) {
// Handle the start of loading event
}
func dnwkWebViewControllerDidFinishLoading(_ webViewController: DNWKWebViewController) {
// Handle the finish of loading event
}
func dnwkWebViewController(_ webViewController: DNWKWebViewController, didFailLoadingWithError error: Error) {
// Handle the loading failure event
}
func dnwkWebViewController(_ webViewController: DNWKWebViewController, didReceiveScriptMessage message: DNWKScriptMessage) {
// Handle the received JavaScript message
}
}
// Objective-C
@interface YourViewController () <DNWKWebViewControllerDelegate>
@end
@implementation YourViewController
...
@end
Error Handling
The DNWKWebViewController library provides error handling capabilities to handle loading errors and present appropriate alerts to the user. By default, when an error occurs during the loading process, a user-friendly error alert is presented. You can customize the error handling behavior by implementing the DNWKWebViewControllerDelegate
method shouldPresentErrorAlert(_:)
to return false
.
// Swift
func dnwkWebViewController(_ webViewController: DNWKWebViewController, shouldPresentErrorAlert error: Error) -> Bool {
// Customize error handling behavior
return false
}
// Objective-C
- (BOOL)dnwkWebViewController:(DNWKWebViewController *)webViewController shouldPresentErrorAlert:(NSError *)error {
// Customize error handling behavior
return NO;
}
