Struct WKWebExtensionCommand

#[repr(C)]
pub struct WKWebExtensionCommand { /* private fields */ }

Available on crate feature WKWebExtensionCommand only.

A WKWebExtensionCommand object encapsulates the properties for an individual web extension command.

Provides access to command properties such as a unique identifier, a descriptive title, and shortcut keys. Commands can be used by a web extension to perform specific actions within a web extension context, such toggling features, or interacting with web content. These commands enhance the functionality of the extension by allowing users to invoke actions quickly.

Implementations

impl WKWebExtensionCommand

pub unsafe fn new(mtm: MainThreadMarker) -> Retained<Self>

pub unsafe fn init(this: Allocated<Self>) -> Retained<Self>

pub unsafe fn webExtensionContext( &self, ) -> Option<Retained<WKWebExtensionContext>>

Available on crate feature WKWebExtensionContext only.

The web extension context associated with the command.

pub unsafe fn identifier(&self) -> Retained<NSString>

A unique identifier for the command.

pub unsafe fn title(&self) -> Retained<NSString>

Descriptive title for the command aiding discoverability.

This title can be displayed in user interface elements such as keyboard shortcuts lists or menu items to help users understand its purpose.

pub unsafe fn activationKey(&self) -> Option<Retained<NSString>>

The primary key used to trigger the command, distinct from any modifier flags.

This property can be customized within the app to avoid conflicts with existing shortcuts or to enable user personalization. It should accurately represent the activation key as used by the app, which the extension can use to display the complete shortcut in its interface. If no shortcut is desired for the command, the property should be set to nil. This value should be saved and restored as needed by the app.

pub unsafe fn setActivationKey(&self, activation_key: Option<&NSString>)

Setter for activationKey.

pub unsafe fn modifierFlags(&self) -> NSEventModifierFlags

Available on crate feature objc2-app-kit and macOS only.

pub unsafe fn setModifierFlags(&self, modifier_flags: NSEventModifierFlags)

Available on crate feature objc2-app-kit and macOS only.

Setter for modifierFlags.

pub unsafe fn menuItem(&self) -> Retained<NSMenuItem>

Available on crate feature objc2-app-kit and macOS only.

Methods from Deref<Target = NSObject>

pub fn doesNotRecognizeSelector(&self, sel: Sel) -> !

Handle messages the object doesn’t recognize.

See Apple’s documentation for details.

Methods from Deref<Target = AnyObject>

pub fn class(&self) -> &'static AnyClass

Dynamically find the class of this object.

Panics

May panic if the object is invalid (which may be the case for objects returned from unavailable init/new methods).

Example

Check that an instance of NSObject has the precise class NSObject.

use objc2::ClassType;
use objc2::runtime::NSObject;

let obj = NSObject::new();
assert_eq!(obj.class(), NSObject::class());

pub unsafe fn get_ivar<T>(&self, name: &str) -> &T

where T: Encode,

👎Deprecated: this is difficult to use correctly, use Ivar::load instead.

Use Ivar::load instead.

Safety

The object must have an instance variable with the given name, and it must be of type T.

See Ivar::load_ptr for details surrounding this.

pub fn downcast_ref<T>(&self) -> Option<&T>

where T: DowncastTarget,

Attempt to downcast the object to a class of type T.

This is the reference-variant. Use Retained::downcast if you want to convert a retained object to another type.

Mutable classes

Some classes have immutable and mutable variants, such as NSString and NSMutableString.

When some Objective-C API signature says it gives you an immutable class, it generally expects you to not mutate that, even though it may technically be mutable “under the hood”.

So using this method to convert a NSString to a NSMutableString, while not unsound, is generally frowned upon unless you created the string yourself, or the API explicitly documents the string to be mutable.

See Apple’s documentation on mutability and on isKindOfClass: for more details.

Generic classes

Objective-C generics are called “lightweight generics”, and that’s because they aren’t exposed in the runtime. This makes it impossible to safely downcast to generic collections, so this is disallowed by this method.

You can, however, safely downcast to generic collections where all the type-parameters are AnyObject.

Panics

This works internally by calling isKindOfClass:. That means that the object must have the instance method of that name, and an exception will be thrown (if CoreFoundation is linked) or the process will abort if that is not the case. In the vast majority of cases, you don’t need to worry about this, since both root objects NSObject and NSProxy implement this method.

Examples

Cast an NSString back and forth from NSObject.

use objc2::rc::Retained;
use objc2_foundation::{NSObject, NSString};

let obj: Retained<NSObject> = NSString::new().into_super();
let string = obj.downcast_ref::<NSString>().unwrap();
// Or with `downcast`, if we do not need the object afterwards
let string = obj.downcast::<NSString>().unwrap();

Try (and fail) to cast an NSObject to an NSString.

use objc2_foundation::{NSObject, NSString};

let obj = NSObject::new();
assert!(obj.downcast_ref::<NSString>().is_none());

Try to cast to an array of strings.

use objc2_foundation::{NSArray, NSObject, NSString};

let arr = NSArray::from_retained_slice(&[NSObject::new()]);
// This is invalid and doesn't type check.
let arr = arr.downcast_ref::<NSArray<NSString>>();

This fails to compile, since it would require enumerating over the array to ensure that each element is of the desired type, which is a performance pitfall.

Downcast when processing each element instead.

use objc2_foundation::{NSArray, NSObject, NSString};

let arr = NSArray::from_retained_slice(&[NSObject::new()]);

for elem in arr {
    if let Some(data) = elem.downcast_ref::<NSString>() {
        // handle `data`
    }
}
