\title Qt WebEngine
The Qt WebEngine module provides the WebEngineView API which allows QML applications
to render regions of dynamic web content. A \e{WebEngineView} component may share
the screen with other QML components or encompass the full screen as
specified within the QML application.
It allows an
application to load pages into the WebEngineView, either by URL or with
an HTML string, and navigate within session history. By default,
links to different pages load within the same WebEngineView, but applications
may intercept requests to delegate links to other functions.
The following sample QML application loads a web page, responds to session
history context, and intercepts requests for external links. It also makes
use of \l ScrollView from \l {Qt Quick Controls} to add scroll bars for
the content area.
\code
import QtQuick 2.0
import QtQuick.Controls 1.0
import QtWebEngine 1.0
ScrollView {
width: 1280
height: 720
WebEngineView {
id: webview
url: "http://qt-project.org"
anchors.fill: parent
onNavigationRequested: {
// detect URL scheme prefix, most likely an external link
var schemaRE = /^\w+:/;
if (schemaRE.test(request.url)) {
request.action = WebEngineView.AcceptRequest;
} else {
request.action = WebEngineView.IgnoreRequest;
// delegate request.url here
}
}
}
}
\endcode
\section1 Examples
There are several Qt WebEngine examples located in the
\l{Qt WebEngine Examples} page.

*/
/*!
\qmlmethod void WebEngineView::goBack()
Go backward within the browser's session history, if possible.
(Equivalent to the \c{window.history.back()} DOM method.)
\sa WebEngineView::canGoBack
*/
/*!
\qmlmethod void WebEngineView::goForward()
Go forward within the browser's session history, if possible.
(Equivalent to the \c{window.history.forward()} DOM method.)

/*!
\qmlmethod void WebEngineView::stop()
Stop loading the current page.
*/
/*!
\qmlmethod void WebEngineView::reload()
Reload the current page. (Equivalent to the
\c{window.location.reload()} DOM method.)
*/
/*!
\qmlproperty url WebEngineView::url
The location of the currently displaying HTML page. This writable
property offers the main interface to load a page into a web view.
It functions the same as the \c{window.location} DOM property.
\sa WebEngineView::loadHtml()
*/
/*!
\qmlproperty url WebEngineView::icon
The location of the currently displaying Web site icon, also known as favicon
or shortcut icon. This read-only URL corresponds to the image used within a
mobile browser application to represent a bookmarked page on the device's home
screen.
This example uses the \c{icon} property to build an \c{Image} element:
\code
Image {
id: appIcon
source: webView.icon != "" ? webView.icon : "fallbackFavIcon.png";
...
}
\endcode
*/
/*!
\qmlproperty int WebEngineView::loadProgress
The amount of the page that has been loaded, expressed as an integer
percentage in the range from \c{0} to \c{100}.
*/
/*!
\qmlproperty bool WebEngineView::canGoBack
Returns \c{true} if there are prior session history entries, \c{false}
otherwise.
*/
/*!
\qmlproperty bool WebEngineView::canGoForward
Returns \c{true} if there are subsequent session history entries,
\c{false} otherwise.
*/
/*!
\qmlproperty bool WebEngineView::loading
Returns \c{true} if the HTML page is currently loading, \c{false} otherwise.
*/
/*!
\qmlproperty string WebEngineView::title
The title of the currently displaying HTML page, a read-only value
that reflects the contents of the \c{
} tag.
*/
/*!
\qmlmethod void WebEngineView::loadHtml(string html, url baseUrl, url unreachableUrl)
\brief Loads the specified \a html as the content of the web view.
(This method offers a lower-level alternative to the \c{url} property,
which references HTML pages via URL.)
External objects such as stylesheets or images referenced in the HTML
document are located relative to \a baseUrl. For example if provided \a html
was originally retrieved from \c http://www.example.com/documents/overview.html
and that was the base url, then an image referenced with the relative url \c diagram.png
would be looked for at \c{http://www.example.com/documents/diagram.png}.
If an \a unreachableUrl is passed it is used as the url for the loaded
content. This is typically used to display error pages for a failed
load.
\sa WebEngineView::url
*/
/*!
\qmlsignal WebEngineView::onLoadingChanged(loadRequest)
Occurs when any page load begins, ends, or fails. Various read-only
parameters are available on the \a loadRequest:
\list
\li \c{url}: the location of the resource that is loading.
\li \c{status}: Reflects one of three load states:
\c{LoadStartedStatus}, \c{LoadSucceededStatus}, or
\c{LoadFailedStatus}. See \c{WebEngineView::LoadStatus}.
\li \c{errorString}: description of load error.
\li \c{errorCode}: HTTP error code.
\li \c{errorDomain}: high-level error types, one of
\c{NetworkErrorDomain}, \c{HttpErrorDomain}, \c{InternalErrorDomain},
\c{DownloadErrorDomain}, or \c{NoErrorDomain}. See
\l{WebEngineView::ErrorDomain}.
\endlist
\sa WebEngineView::loading
*/
/*!
\qmlsignal WebEngineView::onLinkHovered(hoveredUrl, hoveredTitle)
Within a mouse-driven interface, this signal is emitted when a mouse
pointer passes over a link, corresponding to the \c{mouseover} DOM
event. (May also occur in touch interfaces for \c{mouseover} events
that are not cancelled with \c{preventDefault()}.) The \a{hoveredUrl}
provides the link's location, and the \a{hoveredTitle} is any avalable
link text.
*/
/*!
\qmlsignal WebEngineView::onNavigationRequested(request)
Occurs for various kinds of navigation. If the application listens
for this signal, it must set the \c{request.action} to either of the
following \l{WebEngineView::NavigationRequestAction} enum values:
\list
\li \c{AcceptRequest}: Allow navigation to external pages within the
web view. This represents the default behavior when no listener is
active.
\li \c{IgnoreRequest}: Suppress navigation to new pages within the web
view. (The listener may then delegate navigation externally to
the browser application.)
\endlist
The \a{request} also provides the following read-only values:
\list
\li \c{url}: The location of the requested page.
\li \c{navigationType}: contextual information, one of
\c{LinkClickedNavigation}, \c{BackForwardNavigation},
\c{ReloadNavigation}, \c{FormSubmittedNavigation},
\c{FormResubmittedNavigation}, or \c{OtherNavigation} enum values.
See \l{WebEngineView::NavigationType}.
\li \c{keyboardModifiers}: potential states for \l{Qt::KeyboardModifier}.
\li \c{mouseButton}: potential states for \l{Qt::MouseButton}.
