Classes

WebviewWindow

Create new webview or get a handle to an existing one.

Webviews are identified by a label a unique identifier that can be used to reference it later. It may only contain alphanumeric characters a-zA-Z plus the following special characters -, /, : and _.

Example

import { Window } from "@tauri-apps/api/window"
import { Webview } from "@tauri-apps/api/webview"

const appWindow = new Window('uniqueLabel');

// loading embedded asset:
const webview = new Webview(appWindow, 'theUniqueLabel', {
  url: 'path/to/page.html'
});
// alternatively, load a remote URL:
const webview = new Webview(appWindow, 'theUniqueLabel', {
  url: 'https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri'
});

webview.once('tauri://created', function () {
 // webview successfully created
});
webview.once('tauri://error', function (e) {
 // an error happened creating the webview
});

// emit an event to the backend
await webview.emit("some-event", "data");
// listen to an event from the backend
const unlisten = await webview.listen("event-name", e => {});
unlisten();
