WebView

The hetu_spotube_plugin is a built-in module that plugin developers can use in their plugins.

import "module:spotube_plugin" as spotube

WebView API #

The WebView API allows plugins to create and manage web views within the Spotube application.

Usage #

First, an WebView instance needs to be created with uri.

import "module:spotube_plugin" as spotube

let webview = spotube.Webview(uri: "https://example.com")

To open the webview, you can use the open method:

webview.open() // returns Future<void>

To close the webview, you can use the close method:

webview.close() // returns Future<void>

Listening to URL changes #

You can listen to url change events by using the onUrlRequestStream method. It’s emitted when the URL of the webview changes, such as when the user navigates to a different page or clicks a link.

// Make sure to import the hetu_std and Stream
import "module:hetu_std" as std

var Stream = std.Stream

// ... created webview instance and other stuff

var subscription = webview.onUrlRequestStream().listen((url) {
    // Handle the URL change
    print("URL changed to: $url")
})

// Don't forget to cancel the subscription when it's no longer needed
subscription.cancel()

Retrieving cookies #

To get cookies from the webview, you can use the getCookies method:

webview.getCookies("https://example.com") // returns Future<List<Cookie>>

You can find the Cookie class and all it’s methods and properties in the hetu_spotube_plugin module source code
