Struct WebContext

pub struct WebContext { /* private fields */ }

A context that is shared between multiple WebViews.

A browser would have a context for all the normal tabs and a different context for all the private/incognito tabs.

Warning

If WebView is created by a WebContext. Dropping WebContext will cause WebView lose some actions like custom protocol on Mac. Please keep both instances when you still wish to interact with them.

Implementations

impl WebContext

pub fn new(data_directory: Option<PathBuf>) -> Self

Create a new WebContext.

data_directory:

• Whether the WebView window should have a custom user data path. This is useful in Windows when a bundled application can’t have the webview data inside Program Files.

pub fn data_directory(&self) -> Option<&Path>

A reference to the data directory the context was created with.

pub fn is_custom_protocol_registered(&self, name: String) -> bool

Check if a custom protocol has been registered on this context.

pub fn set_allows_automation(&mut self, flag: bool)

Set if this context allows automation.

Note: This is currently only enforced on Linux, and has the stipulation that only 1 context allows automation at a time.
