Implementations

impl WebFrame

pub unsafe fn initWithName_webFrameView_webView( this: Allocated<Self>, name: Option<&NSString>, view: Option<&WebFrameView>, web_view: Option<&WebView>, ) -> Option<Retained<Self>>

👎Deprecated

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

The designated initializer of WebFrame.

WebFrames are normally created for you by the WebView. You should not need to invoke this method directly.

Parameter name: The name of the frame.

Parameter view: The WebFrameView for the frame.

Parameter webView: The WebView that manages the frame.

Returns: Returns an initialized WebFrame.

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

👎Deprecated

The frame name.

pub unsafe fn webView(&self, mtm: MainThreadMarker) -> Option<Retained<WebView>>

👎Deprecated

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

The WebView for the document that includes this frame.

pub unsafe fn frameView( &self, mtm: MainThreadMarker, ) -> Option<Retained<WebFrameView>>

👎Deprecated

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

The WebFrameView for this frame.

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

👎Deprecated

Available on crate features DOMDocument and DOMNode and DOMObject and WebScriptObject only.

The DOM document of the frame. Returns nil if the frame does not contain a DOM document such as a standalone image.

pub unsafe fn frameElement(&self) -> Option<Retained<DOMHTMLElement>>

👎Deprecated

Available on crate features DOMElement and DOMHTMLElement and DOMNode and DOMObject and WebScriptObject only.

The frame element of the frame. The class of the result is either DOMHTMLFrameElement, DOMHTMLIFrameElement or DOMHTMLObjectElement. Returns nil if the frame is the main frame since there is no frame element for the frame in this case.

pub unsafe fn loadRequest(&self, request: Option<&NSURLRequest>)

👎Deprecated

Parameter request: The web request to load.

pub unsafe fn loadData_MIMEType_textEncodingName_baseURL( &self, data: Option<&NSData>, mime_type: Option<&NSString>, encoding_name: Option<&NSString>, url: Option<&NSURL>, )

👎Deprecated

Parameter data: The data to use for the main page of the document.

Parameter MIMEType: The MIME type of the data.

Parameter encodingName: The encoding of the data.

Parameter URL: The base URL to apply to relative URLs within the document.

pub unsafe fn loadHTMLString_baseURL( &self, string: Option<&NSString>, url: Option<&NSURL>, )

👎Deprecated

Parameter string: The string to use for the main page of the document.

Parameter URL: The base URL to apply to relative URLs within the document.

pub unsafe fn loadAlternateHTMLString_baseURL_forUnreachableURL( &self, string: Option<&NSString>, base_url: Option<&NSURL>, unreachable_url: Option<&NSURL>, )

👎Deprecated

Loads a page to display as a substitute for a URL that could not be reached.

This allows clients to display page-loading errors in the webview itself. This is typically called while processing the WebFrameLoadDelegate method -webView:didFailProvisionalLoadWithError:forFrame: or one of the WebPolicyDelegate methods -webView:decidePolicyForMIMEType:request:frame:decisionListener: or -webView:unableToImplementPolicyWithError:frame:. If it is called from within one of those three delegate methods then the back/forward list will be maintained appropriately.

Parameter string: The string to use for the main page of the document.

Parameter baseURL: The baseURL to apply to relative URLs within the document.

Parameter unreachableURL: The URL for which this page will serve as alternate content.

pub unsafe fn loadArchive(&self, archive: Option<&WebArchive>)

👎Deprecated

Available on crate feature WebArchive only.

Causes WebFrame to load a WebArchive.

Parameter archive: The archive to be loaded.

pub unsafe fn dataSource(&self) -> Option<Retained<WebDataSource>>

👎Deprecated

Available on crate feature WebDataSource only.

The datasource for this frame.

Returns the committed data source. Will return nil if the provisional data source hasn’t yet been loaded.

pub unsafe fn provisionalDataSource(&self) -> Option<Retained<WebDataSource>>

👎Deprecated

Available on crate feature WebDataSource only.

The provisional datasource of this frame.

Will return the provisional data source. The provisional data source will be nil if no data source has been set on the frame, or the data source has successfully transitioned to the committed data source.

pub unsafe fn stopLoading(&self)

pub unsafe fn reloadFromOrigin(&self)

👎Deprecated

Performs HTTP/1.1 end-to-end reload.

pub unsafe fn findFrameNamed( &self, name: Option<&NSString>, ) -> Option<Retained<WebFrame>>

👎Deprecated

This method returns a frame with the given name. findFrameNamed returns self for _self and _current, the parent frame for _parent and the main frame for _top. findFrameNamed returns self for _parent and _top if the receiver is the mainFrame. findFrameNamed first searches from the current frame to all descending frames then the rest of the frames in the WebView. If still not found, findFrameNamed searches the frames of the other WebViews.

Parameter name: The name of the frame to find.

Returns: The frame matching the provided name. nil if the frame is not found.

pub unsafe fn parentFrame(&self) -> Option<Retained<WebFrame>>

👎Deprecated

The frame containing this frame, or nil if this is a top level frame.

pub unsafe fn childFrames(&self) -> Retained<NSArray>

👎Deprecated

The WebScriptObject representing the frame’s JavaScript window object.

pub unsafe fn globalContext(&self) -> JSGlobalContextRef

👎Deprecated

Available on crate feature objc2-javascript-core only.

The frame’s global JavaScript execution context.

Use this method to bridge between the WebKit and JavaScriptCore APIs.

pub unsafe fn javaScriptContext(&self) -> Option<Retained<JSContext>>

👎Deprecated

Available on crate feature objc2-javascript-core only.

The frame’s global JavaScript execution context.

Use this method to bridge between the WebKit and Objective-C JavaScriptCore API.

impl WebFrame

Methods declared on superclass NSObject.

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

pub unsafe fn new() -> Retained<Self>

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`
    }
}
