# `<webview>` Tag

## Warning

Electron's `webview` tag is based on [Chromium's `webview`][chrome-webview], which
is undergoing dramatic architectural changes. This impacts the stability of `webviews`,
including rendering, navigation, and event routing. We currently recommend to not
use the `webview` tag and to consider alternatives, like `iframe`, [Electron's `BrowserView`](browser-view.md),
or an architecture that avoids embedded content altogether.

## Enabling

By default the `webview` tag is disabled in Electron >= 5.  You need to enable the tag by
setting the `webviewTag` webPreferences option when constructing your `BrowserWindow`. For
more information see the [BrowserWindow constructor docs](browser-window.md).

## Overview

> Display external web content in an isolated frame and process.

Process: [Renderer](../glossary.md#renderer-process)<br />
_This class is not exported from the `'electron'` module. It is only available as a return value of other methods in the Electron API._

Use the `webview` tag to embed 'guest' content (such as web pages) in your
Electron app. The guest content is contained within the `webview` container.
An embedded page within your app controls how the guest content is laid out and
rendered.

Unlike an `iframe`, the `webview` runs in a separate process than your
app. It doesn't have the same permissions as your web page and all interactions
between your app and embedded content will be asynchronous. This keeps your app
safe from the embedded content. **Note:** Most methods called on the
webview from the host page require a synchronous call to the main process.

## Example

To embed a web page in your app, add the `webview` tag to your app's embedder
page (this is the app page that will display the guest content). In its simplest
form, the `webview` tag includes the `src` of the web page and css styles that
control the appearance of the `webview` container:

```html
<webview id="foo" src="https://www.github.com/" style="display:inline-flex; width:640px; height:480px"></webview>
```

If you want to control the guest content in any way, you can write JavaScript
that listens for `webview` events and responds to those events using the
`webview` methods. Here's sample code with two event listeners: one that listens
for the web page to start loading, the other for the web page to stop loading,
and displays a "loading..." message during the load time:

```html
<script>
  onload = () => {
    const webview = document.querySelector('webview')
    const indicator = document.querySelector('.indicator')

    const loadstart = () => {
      indicator.innerText = 'loading...'
    }

    const loadstop = () => {
      indicator.innerText = ''
    }

    webview.addEventListener('did-start-loading', loadstart)
    webview.addEventListener('did-stop-loading', loadstop)
  }
</script>
```

## Internal implementation

Under the hood `webview` is implemented with [Out-of-Process iframes (OOPIFs)](https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/oop-iframes).
The `webview` tag is essentially a custom element using shadow DOM to wrap an
`iframe` element inside it.

So the behavior of `webview` is very similar to a cross-domain `iframe`, as
examples:

* When clicking into a `webview`, the page focus will move from the embedder
  frame to `webview`.
* You can not add keyboard, mouse, and scroll event listeners to `webview`.
* All reactions between the embedder frame and `webview` are asynchronous.

## CSS Styling Notes

Please note that the `webview` tag's style uses `display:flex;` internally to
ensure the child `iframe` element fills the full height and width of its `webview`
container when used with traditional and flexbox layouts. Please do not
overwrite the default `display:flex;` CSS property, unless specifying
`display:inline-flex;` for inline layout.

## Tag Attributes

The `webview` tag has the following attributes:

### `src`

```html
<webview src="https://www.github.com/"></webview>
```

A `string` representing the visible URL. Writing to this attribute initiates top-level
navigation.

Assigning `src` its own value will reload the current page.

The `src` attribute can also accept data URLs, such as
`data:text/plain,Hello, world!`.

### `nodeintegration`

```html
<webview src="http://www.google.com/" nodeintegration></webview>
```

A `boolean`. When this attribute is present the guest page in `webview` will have node
integration and can use node APIs like `require` and `process` to access low
level system resources. Node integration is disabled by default in the guest
page.

### `nodeintegrationinsubframes`

```html
<webview src="http://www.google.com/" nodeintegrationinsubframes></webview>
```

A `boolean` for the experimental option for enabling NodeJS support in sub-frames such as iframes
inside the `webview`. All your preloads will load for every iframe, you can
use `process.isMainFrame` to determine if you are in the main frame or not.
This option is disabled by default in the guest page.

### `plugins`

```html
<webview src="https://www.github.com/" plugins></webview>
```

A `boolean`. When this attribute is present the guest page in `webview` will be able to use
browser plugins. Plugins are disabled by default.

### `preload`

```html
<!-- from a file -->
<webview src="https://www.github.com/" preload="./test.js"></webview>
<!-- or if you want to load from an asar archive -->
<webview src="https://www.github.com/" preload="./app.asar/test.js"></webview>
```

A `string` that specifies a script that will be loaded before other scripts run in the guest
page. The protocol of script's URL must be `file:` (even when using `asar:` archives) because
it will be loaded by Node's `require` under the hood, which treats `asar:` archives as virtual
directories.

When the guest page doesn't have node integration this script will still have
access to all Node APIs, but global objects injected by Node will be deleted
after this script has finished executing.

### `httpreferrer`

```html
<webview src="https://www.github.com/" httpreferrer="http://cheng.guru"></webview>
```

A `string` that sets the referrer URL for the guest page.

### `useragent`

```html
<webview src="https://www.github.com/" useragent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; AS; rv:11.0) like Gecko"></webview>
```

A `string` that sets the user agent for the guest page before the page is navigated to. Once the
page is loaded, use the `setUserAgent` method to change the user agent.

### `disablewebsecurity`

```html
<webview src="https://www.github.com/" disablewebsecurity></webview>
```

A `boolean`. When this attribute is present the guest page will have web security disabled.
Web security is enabled by default.

### `partition`

```html
<webview src="https://github.com" partition="persist:github"></webview>
<webview src="https://electronjs.org" partition="electron"></webview>
```

A `string` that sets the session used by the page. If `partition` starts with `persist:`, the
page will use a persistent session available to all pages in the app with the
same `partition`. if there is no `persist:` prefix, the page will use an
in-memory session. By assigning the same `partition`, multiple pages can share
the same session. If the `partition` is unset then default session of the app
will be used.

This value can only be modified before the first navigation, since the session
of an active renderer process cannot change. Subsequent attempts to modify the
value will fail with a DOM exception.

### `allowpopups`

```html
<webview src="https://www.github.com/" allowpopups></webview>
```

A `boolean`. When this attribute is present the guest page will be allowed to open new
windows. Popups are disabled by default.

### `webpreferences`

```html
<webview src="https://github.com" webpreferences="allowRunningInsecureContent, javascript=no"></webview>
```

A `string` which is a comma separated list of strings which specifies the web preferences to be set on the webview.
The full list of supported preference strings can be found in [BrowserWindow](browser-window.md#new-browserwindowoptions).

The string follows the same format as the features string in `window.open`.
A name by itself is given a `true` boolean value.
A preference can be set to another value by including an `=`, followed by the value.
Special values `yes` and `1` are interpreted as `true`, while `no` and `0` are interpreted as `false`.

### `enableblinkfeatures`

```html
<webview src="https://www.github.com/" enableblinkfeatures="PreciseMemoryInfo, CSSVariables"></webview>
```

A `string` which is a list of strings which specifies the blink features to be enabled separated by `,`.
The full list of supported feature strings can be found in the
[RuntimeEnabledFeatures.json5][runtime-enabled-features] file.

### `disableblinkfeatures`

```html
<webview src="https://www.github.com/" disableblinkfeatures="PreciseMemoryInfo, CSSVariables"></webview>
```

A `string` which is a list of strings which specifies the blink features to be disabled separated by `,`.
The full list of supported feature strings can be found in the
[RuntimeEnabledFeatures.json5][runtime-enabled-features] file.

`scale := 1.2 ^ level`.

> **NOTE**: The zoom policy at the Chromium level is same-origin, meaning that the
> zoom level for a specific domain propagates across all instances of windows with
> the same domain. Differentiating the window URLs will make zoom work per-window.

Emitted when any frame navigation is done.

This event is not emitted for in-page navigations, such as clicking anchor links
or updating the `window.location.hash`. Use `did-navigate-in-page` event for
this purpose.

### Event: 'did-navigate-in-page'

Returns:

* `isMainFrame` boolean
* `url` string

Emitted when an in-page navigation happened.

When in-page navigation happens, the page URL changes but does not cause
navigation outside of the page. Examples of this occurring are when anchor links
are clicked or when the DOM `hashchange` event is triggered.

### Event: 'close'

Fired when the guest page attempts to close itself.

The following example code navigates the `webview` to `about:blank` when the
guest attempts to close itself.

```javascript
const webview = document.querySelector('webview')
webview.addEventListener('close', () => {
  webview.src = 'about:blank'
})
```

### Event: 'ipc-message'

Returns:

* `frameId` \[number, number] - pair of `[processId, frameId]`.
* `channel` string
* `args` any[]

Fired when the guest page has sent an asynchronous message to embedder page.

With `sendToHost` method and `ipc-message` event you can communicate
between guest page and embedder page:

```javascript
// In embedder page.
const webview = document.querySelector('webview')
webview.addEventListener('ipc-message', (event) => {
  console.log(event.channel)
  // Prints "pong"
})
webview.send('ping')
```

```javascript
// In guest page.
const { ipcRenderer } = require('electron')
ipcRenderer.on('ping', () => {
  ipcRenderer.sendToHost('pong')
})
```

### Event: 'crashed'

Fired when the renderer process is crashed.

### Event: 'plugin-crashed'

Returns:

* `name` string
* `version` string

Fired when a plugin process is crashed.

### Event: 'destroyed'

Fired when the WebContents is destroyed.

### Event: 'media-started-playing'

### Event: 'media-paused'

Emitted when media is paused or done playing.

### Event: 'did-change-theme-color'

Returns:

* `themeColor` string

Emitted when a page's theme color changes. This is usually due to encountering a meta tag:

```html
<meta name='theme-color' content='#ff0000'>
```

### Event: 'update-target-url'

Returns:

* `url` string

Emitted when mouse moves over a link or the keyboard moves the focus to a link.

### Event: 'devtools-open-url'

* `url` string - URL of the link that was clicked or selected.

Emitted when a link is clicked in DevTools or 'Open in new tab' is selected for a link in its context menu.

### Event: 'devtools-opened'

### Event: 'devtools-closed'

Emitted when DevTools is closed.

### Event: 'devtools-focused'
