Overview

Stateful SwiftUI WebView for iOS and MacOS

Fully functional, SwiftUI-ready WebView for iOS 13+ and MacOS 10.15+. Actions and state are both delivered via SwiftUI @Bindings, meaking it dead-easy to integrate into any existing SwiftUI View.

Installation

This component is distributed as a Swift package.

Sample usage

The action binding is used to control the WebView - whichever action you want it to perform, just set the variable's value to it. Available actions:
- idle - does nothing and can be used as the default value.
- load(URLRequest) - loads the given request.
- loadHTML(String) - loads custom HTML string.
- reload
- goBack
- goForward
The state binding reports back the current state of the WebView. Available data:
- isLoading - true if the WebView is currently loading a page.
- pageTitle - the title of the currently loaded page, or nil if it can't be obtained.
- pageHTML - the HTML code of the page content. Set htmlInState: true in WebView initializer to receive this update.
- error - set if an error ocurred while loading the page, nil otherwise.
- canGoBack
- canGoForward
The optional restrictedPages array allows you to specify hosts which the web view won't load.
htmlInState dictates if the state update will contain pageHTML. This is disabled by default as it's a costly operation.

import SwiftUIWebView

struct WebViewTest: View {
    @State private var action = WebViewAction.idle
    @State private var state = WebViewState.empty
    @State private var address = "https://www.google.com"
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            titleView
            navigationToolbar
            errorView
            Divider()
            WebView(action: $action,
                    state: $state,
                    restrictedPages: ["apple.com"])
            Spacer()
        }
    }
    
    private var titleView: some View {
        Text(state.pageTitle ?? "Load a page")
            .font(.system(size: 24))
    }
    
    private var navigationToolbar: some View {
        HStack(spacing: 10) {
            TextField("Address", text: $address)
            if state.isLoading {
                if #available(iOS 14, macOS 10.15, *) {
                    ProgressView()
                        .progressViewStyle(CircularProgressViewStyle())
                } else {
                    Text("Loading")
                }
            }
            Spacer()
            Button("Go") {
                if let url = URL(string: address) {
                    action = .load(URLRequest(url: url))
                }
            }
            Button(action: {
                action = .reload
            }) {
                Image(systemName: "arrow.counterclockwise")
                    .imageScale(.large)
            }
            if state.canGoBack {
                Button(action: {
                    action = .goBack
                }) {
                    Image(systemName: "chevron.left")
                        .imageScale(.large)
                }
            }
            if state.canGoForward {
                Button(action: {
                    action = .goForward
                }) {
                Image(systemName: "chevron.right")
                    .imageScale(.large)
                    
                }
            }
        }.padding()
    }
    
    private var errorView: some View {
        Group {
            if let error = state.error {
                Text(error.localizedDescription)
                    .foregroundColor(.red)
            }
        }
    }
}

Potential multiple executions of go back and go forward

When setting .action to .goBack resp. .goForward it is possible that the corresponding go-back resp. go-forward action is executed more than once. This behavior is already exhibited by the small browser app. I believe this is due to DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.1) { action = .idle } which leaves a window open for multiple executions. Unfortunately the simple action = .idle leads to warnings claiming undefined behavior.

Missing canGoBack state update

It appears that the canGoBack state is not always updated when it changes. This can result e.g. in a go-back-button not being shown even though go-back would be possible. As a fix I suggest to extend the state update logic in public func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!) to cover an update to canGoBack besides the update to isLoading. Probably canGoForward should be handled similarly.

Save Cookies

Hello, it would be great to be able to give the option to save and read the cookies, I will integrate this Liberia in my application and I will use it to log in to a website and save the cookies to use them in HTTP requests, because said website does not contain an API. Thanks for the contribution 💚

Links with target="_blank" not loading

Hello,

When clicking on a link with the target="_blank" attribute nothing happens.

Appears some special logic needs to be added to a delegate method to allow this to work. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66700248/how-to-open-urls-with-target-blank-in-safari-wkwebview-webkit

Add ability to grab pageURL as a state object

Love your work on this, makes it so much easier for me to implement swiftui webview. I was playing around with it to see if I can save the page's url but because the your webview package is constructed on load i couldnt use the general " webView.url" call.

I added the following code on your WebViewCoordinator extension after calling " public internal(set) var pageURL: String? " on your WebViewState constructor

webView.evaluateJavaScript("document.URL.toString()") { (response, error) in if let url = response as? String { var newState = self.webView.state newState.pageURL = url self.webView.state = newState } }

Think itd be a great function to have especially for newbies like me so they dont have to go chasing around the code trying to figure out how to load the url : )

Possibly missing setLoading(false)

I think there should also be a setLoading(false) after decisionHandler(.cancel). I'm quite sure for the second occurrence (i.e. where the scheme handler is invoked) but cannot really tell for the first case as I have removed this feature for my case.

I noticed this with a scheme handler for itms-apps which just invokes the app store: When returning from the app store the loading wheel was still spinning.

Keyboard Support

Entering text using the Magic Keyboard does not work. No text is entered, nor does pasting via keyboard shortcuts.

I am using an iPad Pro with a Magic Keyboard on Swift Playgrounds 4.1. May not be supported but wanted to mention it.
