Mobile Platform as a Service:web-view

Last Updated:Apr 20, 2021

The <web-view /> component bears HTML5 pages and automatically fills the entire Mini Program page.

Attribute Type Default value Description
src String N/A URL of the HTML5 page that web-view is about to render.
onMessage EventHandle N/A Message that the web page sends to the Mini Program using postMessage e.detail = { data }
Note: The component applies to basic library 1.6.0 and later versions. Operations to resolve the compatibility problems need to be performed in earlier versions. For the operations, see Mini-program Basic Library Description.

Each page can have only one <web-view />. Do not render multiple <web-view /> components. It will automatically fill the entire page and cover other components.

Code sample

  • <web-view />HTML5 page:

    1. <!-- html -->
    2. <script type="text/javascript" src="https://appx/web-view.min.js"></script>
    3. // If the HTML5 page needs to be used in a non-mPaaS client at the same time, to avoid the 404 error for the request, refer to the following code writing method.
    4. // Run the following script in the HTML head.
    5. <script>
    6. if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('AlipayClient') > -1 || navigator.userAgent.indexOf('mPaaSClient') > -1) {
    7. document.writeln('<script src="https://appx/web-view.min.js"' + '>' + '<' + '/' + 'script>');
    8. }
    9. // javascript
    10. my.navigateTo({url: '../get-user-info/get-user-info'});
    11. // The web page sends messages to the Mini Program using postMessage.
    12. my.postMessage({name:"test web-view"});
    13. // Receives messages from the Mini Program.
    14. my.onMessage = function(e) {
    15. console.log(e); //{'sendToWebView': '1'}
    16. }
    17. // Determines whether the running is in the Mini Program environment.
    18. my.getEnv(function(res) {
    19. console.log(res.miniprogram) // true
    20. });
    21. my.startShare();
    22. </script>
  • After the message is sent using my.postMessage, the Mini Program page executes the method configured by onMessage.

    1. // The page.js corresponding to the Mini Program page declares the test method.
    2. // The web-view component in page.axml has onMessage="test" configured.
    3. // Therefore, after the web page executes my.postMessage, the test method will be executed.
    4. Page({
    5. onLoad(e){
    6. this.webViewContext = my.createWebViewContext('web-view-1');
    7. },
    8. test(e){
    9. my.alert({
    10. content:JSON.stringify(e.detail),
    11. });
    12. this.webViewContext.postMessage({'sendToWebView': '1'});
    13. },
    14. )};
  • my.getEnv code sample:

    1. // Determines whether the running is in the Mini Program environment.
    2. my.getEnv(function(res){
    3. console.log(res.miniprogram); //true
    4. });

    You can obtain the URL of the current <web-view /> when you share it. That is, the webViewUrl parameter is returned during the onShareAppMessage callback.

    1. Page({
    2. onShareAppMessage(options) {
    3. console.log(options.webViewUrl)
    4. }
    5. });
