WKWebView - Javascript Confirm and Alert not working
You also need to set the uiDelegate on the WKWebView.
import UIKit
import WebKit
class ViewController: UIViewController, WKUIDelegate, WKNavigationDelegate {
var wkWebView: WKWebView!
public override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
wkWebView = WKWebView(frame: view.bounds, configuration: WKWebViewConfiguration())
wkWebView.uiDelegate = self
wkWebView.navigationDelegate = self
view.addSubview(wkWebView!)
let url = URL(string: "https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/tryit.asp?filename=tryjsref_alert")!
wkWebView.load(URLRequest(url: url))
}
func webView(_ webView: WKWebView,
runJavaScriptAlertPanelWithMessage message: String,
initiatedByFrame frame: WKFrameInfo,
completionHandler: @escaping () -> Void) {
let alert = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: message, preferredStyle: .alert)
let title = NSLocalizedString("OK", comment: "OK Button")
let ok = UIAlertAction(title: title, style: .default) { (action: UIAlertAction) -> Void in
alert.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
alert.addAction(ok)
present(alert, animated: true)
completionHandler()
}
func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!) {
wkWebView.evaluateJavaScript("alert('Hello from evaluateJavascript()')", completionHandler: nil)
}
}
For confirm()
and prompt()
see the other delegate methods.
A little late but I would like to add my experience for future reference. The answer of @Bon Bon brought me on the path to the solution while I was trying to make things work with Swift 3 and IOS 10, in which case the code needs some modifications.
Firstly you need to implement also WKUIDelegate
, so add it to the ViewController
declaration:
class ViewController: UIViewController, WKUIDelegate {
Then when you instantiate the WKWebView
object, as for example like so:
self.webView = WKWebView(frame: self.view.frame)
you need also to assign the correct value to the uiDelegate
property of the instance:
self.webView?.uiDelegate = self
Then finally you can use the code provided by @Bon Bon, but note that there are some little differences required by Swift 3, as for example, the name of the presentViewController
method becomes present
:
func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, runJavaScriptAlertPanelWithMessage message: String, initiatedByFrame frame: WKFrameInfo, completionHandler: @escaping () -> Void) {
let alertController = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: message, preferredStyle: .actionSheet)
alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: .default, handler: { (action) in
completionHandler()
}))
self.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, runJavaScriptConfirmPanelWithMessage message: String, initiatedByFrame frame: WKFrameInfo, completionHandler: @escaping (Bool) -> Void) {
let alertController = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: message, preferredStyle: .actionSheet)
alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: .default, handler: { (action) in
completionHandler(true)
}))
alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .default, handler: { (action) in
completionHandler(false)
}))
self.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, runJavaScriptTextInputPanelWithPrompt prompt: String, defaultText: String?, initiatedByFrame frame: WKFrameInfo, completionHandler: @escaping (String?) -> Void) {
let alertController = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: prompt, preferredStyle: .alert)
alertController.addTextField { (textField) in
textField.text = defaultText
}
alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Ok", style: .default, handler: { (action) in
if let text = alertController.textFields?.first?.text {
completionHandler(text)
} else {
completionHandler(defaultText)
}
}))
alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: .default, handler: { (action) in
completionHandler(nil)
}))
self.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
That made alert
, confirmation
and text input
to work correctly within WKWebView
, without any compiler warning in Xcode 8. I'm not an expert Swift programmer, so any useful comment about correctness of the code would be very appreciated.
