Agenda
- Showing external website with SFSafariController
- Loading web pages in WKWebView.
- Controlling and interacting with the web page loaded.
SFSafariController
import SafariServices
@IBAction func tapDetails(_ sender: Any) {
guard let url = URL(string: "https://www.smg.gov.mo/") else {
return
}
let vc = SFSafariViewController(url: url)
self.show(vc, sender: false)
}
WKWebView
webview.load(...)
webview.load(
URLRequest(url:
URL(string: "https://example.com")!
)
)
WKWebView
- WKNavigationDelegate
- WKUIDelegate
The Swift part
// Setup webview
// Session
let configuration = WKWebViewConfiguration()
configuration.processPool = GlobalSession.shared.processPool
// Message handler
let userContentController = WKUserContentController()
// the name has to match the JavaScript part.
userContentController.add(self, name: "notification")
configuration.userContentController = userContentController
// Init the webview
let webview = WKWebView.init(frame: .zero, configuration: configuration)
webview.customUserAgent = "Demo App iOS, version 1.0 build 2021.05"
// Finally, we load the URL
webview.load(URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://in200-demo.netlify.com/app.html")!))
webview.navigationDelegate = self
// Make sure we add the new web view into the view hierarchy.
stackView.addArrangedSubview(webview)
The HTML part

Passing data between Swift and JavaScript
1. Passing data from Swift to JavaScript
func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!) {
let name = "Thomas Mak"
let tel = "28123123"
let mobileTel = "66661234"
let script = "fillInForm('" + name + "', '" + tel + "', '" + mobileTel + "')"
webView.evaluateJavaScript(script)
// OR:
webView.evaluateJavaScript(script) { (returnedResult, error) in
print("Returned: ")
print(returnedResult)
}
print(UIApplication.shared.preferredContentSizeCategory.rawValue )
webView.evaluateJavaScript("setAccessibilityFontSize('" + UIApplication.shared.preferredContentSizeCategory.rawValue + "')")
}
2. Passing data from JavaScript to Swift
// JavaScript
$("#send-back").on('click', function(){
var data = {
'name': $("#name").val(),
'tel': $("#tel").val(),
'mobileTel': $("#mobile-tel").val(),
'income': $("#income").val()
}
// The "notification" has to match the name of userContentController in Swift.
window.webkit.messageHandlers.notification.postMessage({ hello: "world from web/JS", data: data} );
});
