## Detailed Description

The WebEngineView type enables QML applications to render regions of dynamic web content. It may share the screen with other QML types, such as a TabView, or fill the screen, as specified within the QML application.

### Initializing Web Engine

For the web engine view to be rendered, the web engine must be initialized by using QtWebEngineQuick::initialize in the application main source file, as illustrated by the following code snippet:

     int main(int argc, char *argv[])
     {
         QCoreApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_ShareOpenGLContexts);
         QtWebEngineQuick::initialize();
         QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);
         QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
         engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/main.qml")));
         return app.exec();
     }

### Loading Web Pages

An application can load pages into the WebEngineView using either the url property, or the loadHtml method. The GET method is always used to load URLs.

The history is represented by a WebEngineHistory data model that is held by the history property.

The following sample QML application loads a web page using the `url` property:

     import QtQuick
     import QtQuick.Window
     import QtWebEngine

     Window {
         width: 1024
         height: 750
         visible: true
         WebEngineView {
             anchors.fill: parent
             url: "https://www.qt.io"
         }
     }

The loading property holds whether an HTML page is currently loading. The loadingChanged() signal is emitted when loading the page begins, ends, or fails.

The title of an HTML page can be accessed with the title property. Additionally, a web page may specify an icon, which can be accessed using the icon property. The zoomFactor property enables zooming the contents of the web page by a scale factor.

If a certificate error is raised while loading a web page, the certificateError() signal is emitted. Certificate errors are handled by using the methods of the WebEngineCertificateError type.

### Interaction

By default, links to different pages load within the same WebEngineView object, but web sites may request them to be opened as a new tab, window, or dialog. The newWindowRequested() signal is emitted when a request to load the page in a separate web engine view is issued. The NewViewDestination property describes how the new view should be opened. In addition, the WebEngineNewWindowRequest utility type can be used to load web pages in separate web engine views.

The findText() method can be used to search for a string on a web page, using the options described by FindFlags.

The setActiveFocusOnPress() method can be used to create a UI element that should not get focus on press. This can be useful in a hybrid UI.

The focusOnNavigationEnabled setting can be used to make the view automatically receive focus when a navigation operation occurs (like loading or reloading a page, or navigating through history).

The linkHovered() signal is emitted when a mouse pointer passes over a link and thus corresponds to the `mouseover` DOM event.

Actions, such as selecting and editing content, can be performed on a web page by using the triggerWebAction() method. The available actions are described by the WebAction property.

The backgroundColorChanged() signal is emitted when the web page background color changes.

### User Scripts

During the loading of a page, so called user scripts can be injected in the JavaScript engine at different points. The script objects attached to the web engine view are held by the userScripts property and injected by using the WebEngineScript type. Scripts can also be run by using the runJavaScript() method in the same world as other scripts that are part of the loaded site.

The webChannel property can be used to expose a WebChannel instance in the JavaScript context of the page it is rendering as `qt.webChannelTransport`.

### Fullscreen Mode

A web page can request through the JavaScript API to be loaded in fullscreen mode. The fullScreenRequested() signal is emitted when the web page issues the request. The FullScreenRequest utility type can be used to toggle fullscreen requests. The fullScreenCancelled method can be used to notify the browser engine when the windowing system forces the application to leave fullscreen mode.

### Profiles

Web engine views can be isolated from each other by using the WebEngineProfile type. A profile contains settings, scripts, and the list of visited links shared by all views that belong to the profile. For example, a dedicated profile could be created for a private browsing mode. The current profile for the view is held by the profile property and the current settings are held by the settings property. The settings are specified by using the WebEngineSettings type.

### Platform Features

Web pages can request access to platform features such as geolocation, or audio and video capture devices. The permissionRequested() signal is emitted when a web page requests to make use of a resource. The supported platform features are described by the WebEnginePermission::Feature property.

### Rendering to OpenGL Surface

When using a QQuickRenderControl to render a Qt Quick user interface to an OpenGL surface, the WebEngineView type is not rendered correctly. The web engine view attempts to use a global OpenGL context created by QtWebEngineQuick::initialize, but there is no public API for accessing that context in order to share it with the `QQuickRenderControl` context.

To have the web engine view rendered correctly, it is possible to manually create a new offscreen context that is shared with the `QQuickRenderControl` and to call the non-public function `qt_gl_set_global_share_context()`, rather than calling `initialize()`. If `initialize()` is called after setting a global context, it will do nothing.

The id of the developer tools host associated with this page.

If remote debugging is enabled (see Qt WebEngine Developer Tools), the id can be used to build the URL to connect to the developer tool websocket: `ws://localhost:<debugging-port>/devtools/page/<id>)`. The websocket can be used to to interact with the page using the DevTools Protocol.

This property was introduced in QtWebEngine 6.6.

devToolsView : WebEngineView `[since QtWebEngine 1.7]`

The view currently hosting the developer tools for this view. Setting it to a new view will navigate that view to an internal URL with the developer tools, and bind it to this view.

This property was introduced in QtWebEngine 1.7.

See also inspectedView.

history : WebEngineHistory `[read-only, since QtWebEngine 1.1]`

The navigation history of the current view.

This property was introduced in QtWebEngine 1.1.

See also WebEngineHistory.

icon : url `[read-only]`

An internal URL for accessing the currently displayed web site icon, also known as favicon or shortcut icon. This read-only URL corresponds to the image used within a mobile browser application to represent a bookmarked page on the device's home screen.

The following snippet uses the `icon` property to build an `Image` component:

     Image {
         id: appIcon
         sourceSize: Qt.size(32, 32)
         source: webView.icon != "" ? webView.icon : "fallbackFavicon.png";
         // ...
     }

Specifying the Image::sourceSize property informs the Qt WebEngine's favicon provider about the requested size and resizes the icon to it. If Image::sourceSize property is not specified, the provider provides the icon with the largest available resolution.

inspectedView : WebEngineView `[since QtWebEngine 1.7]`

The view this view is currently inspecting, if any. Setting it will navigate to an internal URL with the developer tools of the view set.

It is recommended to unset this property when developer tools are not visible; otherwise some debug information may appear in the inspected WebEngineView.

This property was introduced in QtWebEngine 1.7.

See also devToolsView.

isFullScreen : bool `[read-only, since QtWebEngine 1.1]`

Returns `true` if the web view is in fullscreen mode, `false` otherwise.

This property was introduced in QtWebEngine 1.1.

See also fullScreenRequested() and fullScreenCancelled().

lifecycleState : LifecycleState `[since QtWebEngine 1.10]`

The current lifecycle state of the page.

The following restrictions are enforced by the setter:

- A visible page must remain in the `Active` state.
- If the page is being inspected by a devToolsView then both pages must remain in the `Active` states.
- A page in the `Discarded` state can only transition to the `Active` state. This will cause a reload of the page.

These are the only hard limits on the lifecycle state, but see also recommendedState for the recommended soft limits.

This property was introduced in QtWebEngine 1.10.

See also recommendedState, Page Lifecycle API, and WebEngine Lifecycle Example.

loadProgress : int `[read-only]`

The amount of data from the page that has been loaded, expressed as an integer percentage in the range from `0` to `100`.

loading : bool `[read-only]`

Returns `true` if the HTML page is currently loading, `false` otherwise.

mainFrame : webEngineFrame `[since QtWebEngine 6.8]`

The main, top-level frame of the page. All other frames on this page are accessible as children of the main frame.

This property was introduced in QtWebEngine 6.8.

profile : WebEngineProfile `[since QtWebEngine 1.1]`

The current profile used for the view.

This property was introduced in QtWebEngine 1.1.

See also WebEngineProfile.

recentlyAudible : bool `[read-only, since QtWebEngine 1.3]`

Returns the current page's audible state (audio was recently played, or not).

This property was introduced in QtWebEngine 1.3.

See also audioMuted and recentlyAudibleChanged.

recommendedState : LifecycleState `[since QtWebEngine 1.10]`

The recommended limit for the lifecycle state of the page.

Setting the lifecycle state to a lower resource usage state than the recommended state may cause side-effects such as stopping background audio playback or loss of HTML form input. Setting the lifecycle state to a higher resource state is, however, completely safe.

This property was introduced in QtWebEngine 1.10.

See also lifecycleState, Page Lifecycle API, and WebEngine Lifecycle Example.

renderProcessPid : qint64 `[read-only, since QtWebEngine 1.11]`

Returns the process ID (PID) of the render process assigned to the current page's main frame.

If no render process is available yet, `0` is returned.

This property was introduced in QtWebEngine 1.11.

See also renderProcessPidChanged.

scrollPosition : point `[since QtWebEngine 1.3]`

Scroll position of the page contents.

This property was introduced in QtWebEngine 1.3.

settings : WebEngineSettings `[read-only, since QtWebEngine 1.1]`

Settings used by this view.

This property was introduced in QtWebEngine 1.1.

See also WebEngineSettings.

title : string `[read-only]`

The title of the currently displayed HTML page. This is a read-only value that reflects the contents of the `<title>` tag.

touchHandleDelegate : Component `[since QtWebEngine 6.4]`

The touchHandleDelegate provides a template defining visual touch handles instantiated by the view whenever touch selection handling is required.

The handle's position, opacity, and visibility are updated automatically. The delegate should be a QML Item or any QML type which inherits it.

Note: If no QML Item is set, the default touch handles will be shown.

The following code uses a custom touch handle delegate:

     WebEngineView {
     // ...
         touchHandleDelegate: Rectangle {
             color: "red"
         }
         // ...
     }

The touch handles can be also switched dynamically:

      Component {
         id: circleTouchHandle
         Rectangle {
             color: "blue"
             radius: 50
         }
     }
     function showDefaultHandle(isDefault) {
         if (isDefault)
             webEngineView.touchHandleDelegate = circleTouchHandle
         else
             webEngineView.touchHandleDelegate = null
     }

Note: If no delegate is provided, Chromium's default touch handles will appear.

This property was introduced in QtWebEngine 6.4.

url : url

The location of the currently displayed HTML page. This writable property offers the main interface to load a page into a web view. It functions the same as the `window.location` DOM property.

See also loadHtml().

userScripts : WebEngineScriptCollection `[read-only, since QtWebEngine 1.1]`

This property was introduced in QtWebEngine 1.1.

See also WebEngineScriptCollection.

webChannel : QQmlWebChannel `[since QtWebEngine 1.1]`

The web channel instance used by this view. This channel is automatically using the internal QtWebEngine transport mechanism over Chromium IPC, and exposed in the javascript context of the page it is rendering as `qt.webChannelTransport`. This transport object is used when instantiating the JavaScript counterpart of QWebChannel using the Qt WebChannel JavaScript API.

Note: The view does not take ownership for an assigned webChannel object.

This property was introduced in QtWebEngine 1.1.

webChannelWorld : int `[since QtWebEngine 1.3]`

JavaScript world that the web channel instance used by this view is installed in. The world must be a number between `0` and `256`.

This property was introduced in QtWebEngine 1.3.

This signal is emitted whenever the document wants to change the position and size of the page to frameGeometry. This can happen for example through JavaScript.

While frameGeometry includes, geometry excludes the size of frame margins.

Note: Geometry related properties of QML Window expect a size excluding the window decoration. You have to use geometry to handle this signal correctly.

     onGeometryChangeRequested: {
         window.x = geometry.x
         window.y = geometry.y
         window.width = geometry.width

`[since QtWebEngine 2.0]` newWindowRequested(WebEngineNewWindowRequest request)

This signal is emitted when request is issued to load a page in a separate web engine view. This can either be because the current page requested it explicitly through a JavaScript call to `window.open`, or because the user clicked on a link while holding Shift, Cmd/Ctrl, or a built-in combination that triggers the page to open in a new window.

The signal is handled by calling acceptAsNewWindow() on the destination view. If this signal is not handled, the requested load will fail.

An example implementation:

     QtObject {
         id: windowParent
         // Create the initial browsing windows and open the startup page.

             firstWindow.webView.loadHtml('<input type="button" value="Click!" onclick="window.open(&quot;http://qt.io&quot;)">');
         }

         property Component windowComponent: Window {
             // Destroy on close to release the Window's QML resources.
             // Because it was created with a parent, it won't be garbage-collected.
             onClosing: destroy()
             visible: true

             property WebEngineView webView: webView_
             WebEngineView {
                 id: webView_
                 anchors.fill: parent

                 // Handle the signal. Dynamically create the window and
                 // use its WebEngineView as the destination of our request.
                 onNewWindowRequested: function(request) {
                     var newWindow = windowComponent.createObject(windowParent);
                     newWindow.webView.acceptAsNewWindow(request);
                 }
             }
         }
     }

Note: The corresponding handler is `onNewWindowRequested`.

This signal was introduced in QtWebEngine 2.0.

See also WebEngineNewWindowRequest and WebEngine Quick Nano Browser.

`[since QtWebEngine 1.5]` pdfPrintingFinished(string filePath, bool success)

This signal is emitted when printing the web page into a PDF file has finished. filePath will contain the path the file was requested to be created at, and success will be `true` if the file was successfully created and `false` otherwise.

Note: The corresponding handler is `onPdfPrintingFinished`.

This signal was introduced in QtWebEngine 1.5.

See also printToPdf().

`[since QtWebEngine 6.8]` permissionRequested(webEnginePermission permission)

This signal is emitted when a web site fires a permission request (e.g. geolocation access, permission to send notifications). The permission object can queried for the requesting URL and the `WebEnginePermission.PermissionType` it's asking for, as well as to grant or deny permission.

Note: The corresponding handler is `onPermissionRequested`.

This signal was introduced in QtWebEngine 6.8.

`[since QtWebEngine 1.8]` printRequested()

This signal is emitted when the JavaScript `window.print()` method is called on the main frame, or the user pressed the print button of PDF viewer plugin. Typically, the signal handler can simply call printToPdf().

Since QtWebEngine 6.8, this signal is only emitted for the main frame, instead of being emitted for any frame that requests printing.

Note: The corresponding handler is `onPrintRequested`.

This signal was introduced in QtWebEngine 1.8.

See also printToPdf.

`[since QtWebEngine 6.8]` printRequestedByFrame(webEngineFrame frame)

See also printRequested.

`[since QtWebEngine 1.3]` recentlyAudibleChanged(bool recentlyAudible)

This signal is emitted when the page's audible state, specified by recentlyAudible, is changed due to audio being played or stopped.

Note: The signal is also emitted when the audioMuted property changes. Also, if the audio is paused, this signal is emitted with an approximate two-second delay, from the moment the audio is paused.

If a web page contains two videos that are started in sequence, this signal gets emitted only once, for the first video to generate sound. After both videos are stopped, the signal is emitted upon the last sound generated. This means that the signal is emitted both when any sound is generated, and when everything falls completely silent, regardless of the number of audio streams.

Spurious signal emissions might also happen. For example, when sound is stopped, this signal gets emitted first with a value of `true`, and then with a value of `false`. Further, when audio starts playing, the signal is emitted twice with a value of `true`.

Note: The corresponding handler is `onRecentlyAudibleChanged`.

This signal was introduced in QtWebEngine 1.3.

See also recentlyAudible.

Handling the signal is asynchronous, and loading will be waiting until a certificate is selected, or the last copy of clientCertificateSelection is destroyed.

If the signal is not handled, clientCertificateSelection is automatically destroyed, and loading will continue without a client certificate.

Note: The corresponding handler is `onSelectClientCertificate`.

This signal was introduced in QtWebEngine 1.9.

See also WebEngineClientCertificateSelection.

`[since QtWebEngine 1.10]` tooltipRequested(TooltipRequest request)

This signal is emitted when the web page sends a request to show a tooltip at a specified position.

Note: Signal handlers need to call `request.accepted = true` to prevent a default tooltip from showing up.

## Method Documentation

void runJavaScript(string script, int worldId, variant callback)
void runJavaScript(string script, variant callback)

Runs the specified script in the content of the web view.

The callback parameter is optional. If a callback function is provided, it will be invoked after the script finishes running.

     runJavaScript("document.title", function(result) { console.log(result); });

Only plain data can be returned from JavaScript as the result value. Supported data types include all of the JSON data types as well as, for example, `Date` and `ArrayBuffer`. Unsupported data types include, for example, `Function` and `Promise`.

To avoid conflicts with other scripts executed on the page, the world in which the script is run can be specified by worldId. The world ID must be between `0` and `256`. If you leave out the `world` ID, the script is run in the `MainWorld`.

Warning: Do not execute lengthy routines in the callback function, because it might block the rendering of the web content.

For more information about injecting scripts, see Script Injection. For an alternative way to inject scripts, see WebEngineView::userScripts.

     findText("Qt", WebEngineView.FindCaseSensitively, function(matchCount) {
         if (matchCount > 0)
             console.log("'Qt' tokens found:", matchCount);
     });

This method was introduced in QtWebEngine 1.1.

See also findTextFinished().

`[since QtWebEngine 1.1]` void fullScreenCancelled()

Immediately sets `isFullScreen` property to `false`. It can be used to notify the browser engine when the windowing system forces the application to leave fullscreen mode.

     ApplicationWindow {
         onVisibilityChanged: {
             if (webEngineView.isFullScreen && visibility != Window.FullScreen)
                 webEngineView.fullScreenCancelled()
         }

         WebEngineView {
             id: webEngineView

See also isFullScreen and fullScreenRequested().

void goBack()

Go backward within the browser's session history, if possible. This function is equivalent to the `window.history.back()` DOM method.

See also canGoBack.

`[since QtWebEngine 1.1]` void goBackOrForward(int offset)

If offset is positive, goes forward the specified number of offset pages in the current session history. If offset is negative, it goes back. If the offset is invalid, the page is not changed.

This method was introduced in QtWebEngine 1.1.

See also goBack() and goForward().

void goForward()

Go forward within the browser's session history, if possible. This function is equivalent to the `window.history.forward()` DOM method.

void loadHtml(string html, url baseUrl)

Loads the specified html as the content of the web view.

This method offers a lower-level alternative to the `url` property, which references HTML pages via URL.

baseUrl is optional and used to resolve relative URLs in the document, such as referenced images or stylesheets. For example, if html is retrieved from `http://www.example.com/documents/overview.html`, which is the base URL, then an image referenced with the relative URL, `diagram.png`, should be at `http://www.example.com/documents/diagram.png`.

When using this method, the web engine assumes that external resources, such as JavaScript programs or style sheets, are encoded in UTF-8, unless otherwise specified. For example, the encoding of an external script can be specified through the charset attribute of the HTML script tag. It is also possible for the encoding to be specified by the web server.

Note: This method will not affect session or global history for the page.

Warning: This function works only for HTML.

`[since QtWebEngine 1.3]` void printToPdf(const string filePath, PrintedPageSizeId pageSizeId, PrintedPageOrientation orientation)

Prints the WebEngineView's current content to a PDF document and stores it under filePath. The document's size will be determined by the value of pageSizeId and its orientation will be determined using orientation.

This method issues an asynchronous request for printing the web page into a PDF and returns immediately. To be informed about the result of the request, connect to the signal pdfPrintingFinished().

If you leave out pageSizeId, it defaults to `A4`. If you leave out orientation, it defaults to `Portrait`.

This method was introduced in QtWebEngine 1.3.

See also pdfPrintingFinished().

`[since QtWebEngine 1.3]` void printToPdf(variant resultCallback, PrintedPageSizeId pageSizeId, PrintedPageOrientation orientation)

Prints the WebEngineView's current content to a PDF document and returns it in a byte array. The document's size will be determined by the value of pageSizeId and its orientation will be determined using orientation.

The resultCallback must take a string parameter. This string will contain the document's data upon successful printing and an empty string otherwise.

If you leave out pageSizeId, it defaults to `A4`. If you leave out orientation, it defaults to `Portrait`.

This method was introduced in QtWebEngine 1.3.
