Detailed Description
QWebEngineScript enables the programmatic injection of so called user scripts in the JavaScript engine at different points, determined by injectionPoint(), during the loading of web contents.
Scripts can be executed either in the main JavaScript world, along with the rest of the JavaScript coming from the web contents, or in their own isolated world. While the DOM of the page can be accessed from any world, JavaScript variables of a function defined in one world are not accessible from a different one. ScriptWorldId provides some predefined IDs for this purpose.
The following Greasemonkey attributes are supported since Qt 5.8: @exclude, @include, @name, @match, and @run-at.
Use QWebEnginePage::scripts() and QWebEngineProfile::scripts() to access the collection of scripts associated with a single page or a number of pages sharing the same profile.
See also Script Injection.
Member Type Documentation
enum QWebEngineScript::InjectionPoint
This enum describes the timing of the script injection:
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
QWebEngineScript::DocumentCreation | 2 | The script will be executed as soon as the document is created. This is not suitable for any DOM operation. |
QWebEngineScript::DocumentReady | 1 | The script will run as soon as the DOM is ready. This is equivalent to the DOMContentLoaded event firing in JavaScript. |
QWebEngineScript::Deferred | 0 | The script will run when the page load finishes, or 500ms after the document is ready, whichever comes first. |
enum QWebEngineScript::ScriptWorldId
This enum provides pre-defined world IDs for isolating user scripts into different worlds:
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
QWebEngineScript::MainWorld | 0 | The world used by the page's web contents. It can be useful in order to expose custom functionality to web contents in certain scenarios. |
QWebEngineScript::ApplicationWorld | 1 | The default isolated world used for application-level functionality implemented in JavaScript. |
QWebEngineScript::UserWorld | 2 | The first isolated world to be used by scripts set by users if the application is not making use of more worlds. As a rule of thumb, if that functionality is exposed to the application users, each individual script should probably get its own isolated world. |
Property Documentation
injectionPoint : InjectionPoint
This property holds the point in the loading process at which the script will be executed.
The default value is QWebEngineScript::Deferred.
Access functions:
| QWebEngineScript::InjectionPoint | injectionPoint() const |
| void | setInjectionPoint(QWebEngineScript::InjectionPoint) |
See also InjectionPoint.
name : QString
This property holds the name of the script.
Can be useful to retrieve a particular script from a QWebEngineScriptCollection.
Access functions:
| QString | name() const |
| void | setName(const QString &) |
See also QWebEngineScriptCollection::find().
runsOnSubFrames : bool
This property holds whether the script is executed on every frame in the page, or only on the main frame.
Access functions:
| bool | runsOnSubFrames() const |
| void | setRunsOnSubFrames(bool on) |
sourceCode : QString
This property holds the source of the script.
Access functions:
| QString | sourceCode() const |
| void | setSourceCode(const QString &) |
sourceUrl : QUrl
This property holds the remote source location of the user script (if any).
Unlike setSourceCode(), setting this property allows referring to user scripts that are not already loaded in memory, for instance, when stored on disk.
Setting this value will change the sourceCode of the script.
Note: At present, only file-based sources are supported.
Access functions:
| QUrl | sourceUrl() const |
| void | setSourceUrl(const QUrl &url) |
See also sourceCode.
worldId : quint32
This property holds the world ID defining which world the script is executed in.
Must be between 0 and 256.
Access functions:
| quint32 | worldId() const |
| void | setWorldId(quint32) |
Member Function Documentation
QWebEngineScript::QWebEngineScript()
Constructs a null script.
QWebEngineScript::QWebEngineScript(const QWebEngineScript &other)
Constructs a user script using the contents of other.
[noexcept] QWebEngineScript::~QWebEngineScript()
Destroys a script.
[noexcept] void QWebEngineScript::swap(QWebEngineScript &other)
Swaps the contents of the script with the contents of other.
bool QWebEngineScript::operator!=(const QWebEngineScript &other) const
Returns true if the script is not equal to other, otherwise returns false.
QWebEngineScript &QWebEngineScript::operator=(const QWebEngineScript &other)
Assigns other to the script.
bool QWebEngineScript::operator==(const QWebEngineScript &other) const
Returns true if the script is equal to other, otherwise returns false.
