Usage

See the generated documentation here.

Basic Usage

import SwiftWebview

// create a new webview
let wv = WebView()
      // navigate to a URL
      .navigate("https://example.com")
      // directly set the HTML
      .setHtml("<h1>Hello World</h1>")
      // set the title of the window
      .setTitle("My Webview Window")
      // set the size of the window
      .setSize(800, 600, .None)
      // inject some javascript into every new page
      .inject("console.log('this happens before window.onload')")
      // asynchronously evaluate some JS in the current page
      .eval("console.log('this was evaled at runtime')")

// run the webview
wv.run()

// destroy the webview once we're done with it
wv.destroy()

Binding functions

let wv = WebView()

let mySwiftFunction: JSCallback = { args in
  return "Hello \(args[0])"
}

wv.bind("boundFunction", mySwiftFunction)
wv.run()

var result = window.boundFunction("World");
console.log(result); // Hello World
