  3. Ensure that “Copy items if needed” is selected
  4. Import the SHWebViewBlocks module in your project

Usage

Using SHWebViewBlocks is straightforward:

  1. Create an instance of SHWebViewBlocks or SHWKWebViewBlocks:
    2. // Example using UIWebView
let webView = SHWebViewBlocks(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: view.frame.width, height: view.frame.height))
  2. Load a web page:
    3. // Example loading a URL
let url = URL(string: "https://www.example.com")
webView.loadRequest(URLRequest(url: url!))
  3. Customize the web view behavior:
    4. // Example enabling JavaScript
webView.configuration.preferences.javaScriptEnabled = true
