webContents

渲染以及控制 web 页面

进程：主进程

webContents是一个EventEmitter. 负责渲染和控制网页, 是 BrowserWindow 对象的一个属性。 这是一个访问 webContents 对象的例子:

const { BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
const win = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 1500 })
win.loadURL('http://github.com')
const contents = win.webContents
console.log(contents)

方法

通过webContents模块可以访问以下方法：

const { webContents } = require('electron')
console.log(webContents)

webContents.getAllWebContents()

返回 WebContents[] - 所有 WebContents 实例的数组。 包含所有Windows，webviews，opened devtools 和 devtools 扩展背景页的 web 内容

webContents.getFocusedWebContents()

Returns WebContents - 此 app 中焦点的 web 内容，否则返回 null。

webContents.fromId(id)

• id Integer

Returns WebContents | undefined - A WebContents instance with the given ID, or undefined if there is no WebContents associated with the given ID.

webContents.fromDevToolsTargetId(targetId)

• targetId String - The Chrome DevTools Protocol TargetID associated with the WebContents instance.

Returns WebContents | undefined - A WebContents instance with the given TargetID, or undefined if there is no WebContents associated with the given TargetID.

When communicating with the Chrome DevTools Protocol, it can be useful to lookup a WebContents instance based on its assigned TargetID.

async function lookupTargetId (browserWindow) {
  const wc = browserWindow.webContents
  await wc.debugger.attach('1.3')
  const { targetInfo } = await wc.debugger.sendCommand('Target.getTargetInfo')
  const { targetId } = targetInfo
  const targetWebContents = await webContents.fromDevToolsTargetId(targetId)
}

类: WebContents

渲染和控制 BrowserWindow 实例的内容。

Process: Main
此类不从 'electron' 模块导出. 它只能作为Electron API中其他方法的返回值。

实例事件

Event: ‘did-finish-load’

导航完成时触发，即选项卡的旋转器将停止旋转，并指派onload事件后。

Event: ‘did-fail-load’

返回:

• event Event
• errorCode Integer
• errorDescription String
• validatedURL String
• isMainFrame Boolean
• frameProcessId Integer

这个事件类似于 did-finish-load ，只不过是在加载失败之后触发。 完整的错误码列表以及含义，请看这

Event: ‘did-fail-provisional-load’

返回:

• event Event
• errorCode Integer
• errorDescription String
• validatedURL String

返回:

• event Event
• isMainFrame Boolean
• frameProcessId Integer
• frameRoutingId Integer

当框架完成导航（navigation）时触发

Event: ‘did-start-loading’

当tab中的旋转指针（spinner）开始旋转时，就会触发该事件。

Event: ‘did-stop-loading’

当tab中的旋转指针（spinner）结束旋转时，就会触发该事件。

事件: ‘dom-ready’

返回:

• event Event

Emitted when the document in the top-level frame is loaded.

事件： ‘page-title-updated’

返回:

• event Event
• title String
• explicitSet Boolean

Fired when page title is set during navigation. explicitSet is false when title is synthesized from file url.

事件: ‘page-favicon-updated’

返回:

• event Event
• favicons String[] - 由连接组成的数组。

当页面获取到favicon的连接时，触发该事件。

Event: ‘new-window’ Deprecated

返回:

• event NewWindowWebContentsEvent
• url String
• frameName String
• disposition String - 可以被设置为 default, foreground-tab, background-tab, new-window, save-to-disk 及 other.
• options BrowserWindowConstructorOptions - 用于创建新的 BrowserWindow.
• additionalFeatures String[] - 非标准功能(非标准功能是指这些功能不是由Chromium或Electron处理的功能)，这些功能默认指向window.open(). Deprecated, and will now always be the empty array [].
• referrer Referrer - The referrer that will be passed to the new window. May or may not result in the Referer header being sent, depending on the referrer policy.
• postBody PostBody (optional) - The post data that will be sent to the new window, along with the appropriate headers that will be set. If no post data is to be sent, the value will be null. Only defined when the window is being created by a form that set target=_blank.

已弃用：webContents.setWindowOpenHandler。

Emitted when the page requests to open a new window for a url. It could be requested by window.open or an external link like <a target='_blank'>.

默认情况下, 将为 url 创建新的 BrowserWindow。

调用event.preventDefault()事件，可以阻止Electron自动创建新的BrowserWindow实例。 调用event.preventDefault() 事件后，你还可以手动创建新的BrowserWindow实例，不过接下来你必须用event.newGuest方法来引用BrowserWindow实例，如果你不这样做，则可能会产生异常。 例如：

myBrowserWindow.webContents.on('new-window', (event, url, frameName, disposition, options, additionalFeatures, referrer, postBody) => {
  event.preventDefault()
  const win = new BrowserWindow({
    webContents: options.webContents, // use existing webContents if provided
    show: false
  })
  win.once('ready-to-show', () => win.show())
  if (!options.webContents) {
    const loadOptions = {
      httpReferrer: referrer
    }
    if (postBody != null) {
      const { data, contentType, boundary } = postBody
      loadOptions.postData = postBody.data
      loadOptions.extraHeaders = `content-type: ${contentType}; boundary=${boundary}`
    }
    win.loadURL(url, loadOptions) // existing webContents will be navigated automatically
  }
  event.newGuest = win
})

Event: ‘did-create-window’

返回:

• window BrowserWindow
• details Object
  • url String - URL for the created window.
  • frameName String - Name given to the created window in the window.open() call.
  • options BrowserWindowConstructorOptions - The options used to create the BrowserWindow. They are merged in increasing precedence: parsed options from the features string from window.open(), security-related webPreferences inherited from the parent, and options given by webContents.setWindowOpenHandler. Unrecognized options are not filtered out.
  • referrer Referrer - The referrer that will be passed to the new window. May or may not result in the Referer header being sent, depending on the referrer policy.
  • postBody PostBody (optional) - The post data that will be sent to the new window, along with the appropriate headers that will be set. If no post data is to be sent, the value will be null. Only defined when the window is being created by a form that set target=_blank.
  • disposition String - Can be default, foreground-tab, background-tab, new-window, save-to-disk and other.

Emitted after successful creation of a window via window.open in the renderer. Not emitted if the creation of the window is canceled from webContents.setWindowOpenHandler.

See window.open() for more details and how to use this in conjunction with webContents.setWindowOpenHandler.

Event: ‘will-navigate’

返回:

• event Event
• url String

Emitted when a user or the page wants to start navigation. It can happen when the window.location object is changed or a user clicks a link in the page.

This event will not emit when the navigation is started programmatically with APIs like webContents.loadURL and webContents.back.

It is also 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.

调用event.preventDefault()将阻止导航。

Event: ‘did-start-navigation’

返回:

• event Event
• url String
• isInPlace Boolean
• isMainFrame Boolean
• frameProcessId Integer
• frameRoutingId Integer

Emitted when any frame (including main) starts navigating. isInPlace will be true for in-page navigations.

Event: ‘will-redirect’

返回:

• event Event
• url String
• isInPlace Boolean
• isMainFrame Boolean
• frameProcessId Integer
• frameRoutingId Integer

Emitted as a server side redirect occurs during navigation. For example a 302 redirect.

This event will be emitted after did-start-navigation and always before the did-redirect-navigation event for the same navigation.

Calling event.preventDefault() will prevent the navigation (not just the redirect).

Event: ‘did-redirect-navigation’

返回:

• event Event
• url String
• isInPlace Boolean
• isMainFrame Boolean
• frameProcessId Integer
• frameRoutingId Integer

Emitted after a server side redirect occurs during navigation. For example a 302 redirect.

This event cannot be prevented, if you want to prevent redirects you should checkout out the will-redirect event above.

Event: ‘did-navigate’

返回:

• event Event
• url String
• httpResponseCode Integer - -1 for non HTTP navigations
• httpStatusText String - empty for non HTTP navigations

Emitted when a main 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-frame-navigate’

返回:

• event Event
• url String
• httpResponseCode Integer - -1 for non HTTP navigations
• httpStatusText String - empty for non HTTP navigations,
• isMainFrame Boolean

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’

返回:

• event Event
• url String
• isMainFrame Boolean
• frameProcessId Integer
• frameRoutingId Integer

Emitted when an in-page navigation happened in any frame.

当发生页内导航时，虽然页面地址发生变化，但它并没有导航到其它页面。 例如，点击锚点链接，或者DOM的 hashchange事件被触发时，都会触发该事件。

Event: ‘will-prevent-unload’

返回:

• event Event

Emitted when a beforeunload event handler is attempting to cancel a page unload.

Calling event.preventDefault() will ignore the beforeunload event handler and allow the page to be unloaded.

const { BrowserWindow, dialog } = require('electron')
const win = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600 })
win.webContents.on('will-prevent-unload', (event) => {
  const choice = dialog.showMessageBoxSync(win, {
    type: 'question',
    buttons: ['Leave', 'Stay'],
    title: 'Do you want to leave this site?',
    message: 'Changes you made may not be saved.',
    defaultId: 0,
    cancelId: 1
  })
  const leave = (choice === 0)
  if (leave) {
    event.preventDefault()
  }
})

Note: This will be emitted for BrowserViews but will not be respected - this is because we have chosen not to tie the BrowserView lifecycle to its owning BrowserWindow should one exist per the specification.

  • extraHeaders String (optional) - Extra headers separated by “\n”.
  • postData (UploadRawData | UploadFile)[] (可选)
  • baseURLForDataURL String (可选) - 要加载的数据文件的根 url(带有路径分隔符). 只有当指定的 url是一个数据 url 并需要加载其他文件时，才需要这样做。

Returns Promise<void> - the promise will resolve when the page has finished loading (see did-finish-load), and rejects if the page fails to load (see did-fail-load). A noop rejection handler is already attached, which avoids unhandled rejection errors.

Loads the url in the window. The url must contain the protocol prefix, e.g. the http:// or file://. If the load should bypass http cache then use the pragma header to achieve it.

const { webContents } = require('electron')
const options = { extraHeaders: 'pragma: no-cache\n' }
webContents.loadURL('https://github.com', options)

contents.loadFile(filePath[, options])

• filePath String
• options Object (可选)
  • query Record<String, String> (optional) - Passed to url.format().
  • search String (可选) - 传递给 url.format().
  • hash String (可选) - 传递给 url.format().

返回 Promise<void> - 当页面完成加载后 promise 将会resolve (见 did-finish-load)，如果页面加载失败，则 reject (见 did-fail-load)。

Loads the given file in the window, filePath should be a path to an HTML file relative to the root of your application. For instance an app structure like this:

| root
| - package.json
| - src
|   - main.js
|   - index.html

需要运行以下代码：

win.loadFile('src/index.html')

contents.downloadURL(url)

• url String

Initiates a download of the resource at url without navigating. The will-download event of session will be triggered.

contents.getURL()

Returns String - 当前页面的URL.

const { BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
const win = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600 })
win.loadURL('http://github.com').then(() => {
  const currentURL = win.webContents.getURL()
  console.log(currentURL)
})

• offset Integer

定位到相对于“当前入口”的指定的偏移。

contents.isCrashed()

Returns Boolean - Whether the renderer process has crashed.

contents.forcefullyCrashRenderer()

Forcefully terminates the renderer process that is currently hosting this webContents. This will cause the render-process-gone event to be emitted with the reason=killed || reason=crashed. Please note that some webContents share renderer processes and therefore calling this method may also crash the host process for other webContents as well.

Calling reload() immediately after calling this method will force the reload to occur in a new process. This should be used when this process is unstable or unusable, for instance in order to recover from the unresponsive event.

contents.on('unresponsive', async () => {
  const { response } = await dialog.showMessageBox({
    message: 'App X has become unresponsive',
    title: 'Do you want to try forcefully reloading the app?',
    buttons: ['OK', 'Cancel'],

Returns Promise<String> - A promise that resolves with a key for the inserted CSS that can later be used to remove the CSS via contents.removeInsertedCSS(key).

Injects CSS into the current web page and returns a unique key for the inserted stylesheet.

contents.on('did-finish-load', () => {
  contents.insertCSS('html, body { background-color: #f00; }')
})

contents.removeInsertedCSS(key)

  Returns {action: 'deny'} | {action: 'allow', overrideBrowserWindowOptions?: BrowserWindowConstructorOptions} - deny cancels the creation of the new window. allow will allow the new window to be created. Specifying overrideBrowserWindowOptions allows customization of the created window. Returning an unrecognized value such as a null, undefined, or an object without a recognized ‘action’ value will result in a console error and have the same effect as returning {action: 'deny'}.

Called before creating a window a new window is requested by the renderer, e.g. by window.open(), a link with target="_blank", shift+clicking on a link, or submitting a form with <form target="_blank">. See window.open() for more details and how to use this in conjunction with did-create-window.

Prints window’s web page. When silent is set to true, Electron will pick the system’s default printer if deviceName is empty and the default settings for printing.

Use page-break-before: always; CSS style to force to print to a new page.

示例：

const options = {
  silent: true,
  deviceName: 'My-Printer',
  pageRanges: [{

By default, an empty options will be regarded as:

{
  marginsType: 0,
  printBackground: false,
  printSelectionOnly: false,
  landscape: false,
  pageSize: 'A4',
  scaleFactor: 100
}

Use page-break-before: always; CSS style to force to print to a new page.

An example of webContents.printToPDF:

const { BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
const fs = require('fs')
const path = require('path')
const os = require('os')
const win = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600 })
win.loadURL('http://github.com')
win.webContents.on('did-finish-load', () => {
  // Use default printing options
  const pdfPath = path.join(os.homedir(), 'Desktop', 'temp.pdf')
  win.webContents.printToPDF({}).then(data => {
    fs.writeFile(pdfPath, data, (error) => {
      if (error) throw error
      console.log(`Wrote PDF successfully to ${pdfPath}`)
    })
  }).catch(error => {
    console.log(`Failed to write PDF to ${pdfPath}: `, error)
  })
})

contents.addWorkSpace(path)

• path String

Adds the specified path to DevTools workspace. Must be used after DevTools creation:

const { BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
const win = new BrowserWindow()
win.webContents.on('devtools-opened', () => {
  win.webContents.addWorkSpace(__dirname)
})

contents.removeWorkSpace(path)

• path String

Removes the specified path from DevTools workspace.

contents.setDevToolsWebContents(devToolsWebContents)

• devToolsWebContents WebContents

Uses the devToolsWebContents as the target WebContents to show devtools.

The devToolsWebContents must not have done any navigation, and it should not be used for other purposes after the call.

By default Electron manages the devtools by creating an internal WebContents with native view, which developers have very limited control of. With the setDevToolsWebContents method, developers can use any WebContents to show the devtools in it, including BrowserWindow, BrowserView and <webview> tag.

Note that closing the devtools does not destroy the devToolsWebContents, it is caller’s responsibility to destroy devToolsWebContents.

An example of showing devtools in a <webview> tag:

<html>
<head>
  <style type="text/css">
    * { margin: 0; }
    #browser { height: 70%; }
    #devtools { height: 30%; }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <webview id="browser" src="https://github.com"></webview>
  <webview id="devtools" src="about:blank"></webview>
  <script>
    const { ipcRenderer } = require('electron')
    const emittedOnce = (element, eventName) => new Promise(resolve => {
      element.addEventListener(eventName, event => resolve(event), { once: true })
    })
    const browserView = document.getElementById('browser')
    const devtoolsView = document.getElementById('devtools')
    const browserReady = emittedOnce(browserView, 'dom-ready')
    const devtoolsReady = emittedOnce(devtoolsView, 'dom-ready')
    Promise.all([browserReady, devtoolsReady]).then(() => {
      const targetId = browserView.getWebContentsId()
      const devtoolsId = devtoolsView.getWebContentsId()
      ipcRenderer.send('open-devtools', targetId, devtoolsId)
    })
  </script>
</body>
</html>

// Main process
const { ipcMain, webContents } = require('electron')
ipcMain.on('open-devtools', (event, targetContentsId, devtoolsContentsId) => {
  const target = webContents.fromId(targetContentsId)
  const devtools = webContents.fromId(devtoolsContentsId)
  target.setDevToolsWebContents(devtools)
  target.openDevTools()
})

An example of showing devtools in a BrowserWindow:

const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
let win = null
let devtools = null
app.whenReady().then(() => {
  win = new BrowserWindow()
  devtools = new BrowserWindow()
  win.loadURL('https://github.com')
  win.webContents.setDevToolsWebContents(devtools.webContents)
  win.webContents.openDevTools({ mode: 'detach' })
})

contents.openDevTools([options])

• options Object (可选)
  • mode String - Opens the devtools with specified dock state, can be right, bottom, undocked, detach. Defaults to last used dock state. In undocked mode it’s possible to dock back. In detach mode it’s not.
  • activate Boolean (optional) - Whether to bring the opened devtools window to the foreground. 默认值为 true。

Opens the devtools.

When contents is a <webview> tag, the mode would be detach by default, explicitly passing an empty mode can force using last used dock state.

contents.closeDevTools()

关闭开发者工具。

contents.isDevToolsOpened()

contents.getAllSharedWorkers()

Returns SharedWorkerInfo[] - Information about all Shared Workers.

contents.inspectServiceWorker()

Opens the developer tools for the service worker context.

contents.send(channel, ...args)

• channel String
• ...args any[]

Send an asynchronous message to the renderer process via channel, along with arguments. 参数将使用 Structured Clone Algorithm进行序列化，就像 postMessage,因此原型链将不会包含在内。 发送 Functions, Promises, Symbols, WeakMaps, 或 WeakSets 将抛出异常

NOTE: Sending non-standard JavaScript types such as DOM objects or special Electron objects will throw an exception.

The renderer process can handle the message by listening to channel with the ipcRenderer module.

An example of sending messages from the main process to the renderer process:

// 在主进程中.
const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
let win = null
app.whenReady().then(() => {
  win = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600 })
  win.loadURL(`file://${__dirname}/index.html`)
  win.webContents.on('did-finish-load', () => {
    win.webContents.send('ping', 'whoooooooh!')
  })
})

<!-- index.html -->
<html>
<body>
  <script>
    require('electron').ipcRenderer.on('ping', (event, message) => {
      console.log(message) // Prints 'whoooooooh!'
    })
  </script>
</body>
</html>

contents.sendToFrame(frameId, channel, ...args)

• frameId Integer | [number, number] - the ID of the frame to send to, or a pair of [processId, frameId] if the frame is in a different process to the main frame.
• channel String
• ...args any[]

Send an asynchronous message to a specific frame in a renderer process via channel, along with arguments. Arguments will be serialized with the Structured Clone Algorithm, just like postMessage, so prototype chains will not be included. Sending Functions, Promises, Symbols, WeakMaps, or WeakSets will throw an exception.

注意： 发送非标准的 JavaScript 类型，如DOM 对象或特殊Electron 对象将会抛出异常。

The renderer process can handle the message by listening to channel with the ipcRenderer module.

If you want to get the frameId of a given renderer context you should use the webFrame.routingId value. 如下:

// In a renderer process
console.log('My frameId is:', require('electron').webFrame.routingId)

You can also read frameId from all incoming IPC messages in the main process.

// In the main process
ipcMain.on('ping', (event) => {
  console.info('Message came from frameId:', event.frameId)
})

contents.postMessage(channel, message, [transfer])

• channel String
• message any
• transfer MessagePortMain[] (可选)

Send a message to the renderer process, optionally transferring ownership of zero or more [MessagePortMain][] objects.

The transferred MessagePortMain objects will be available in the renderer process by accessing the ports property of the emitted event. When they arrive in the renderer, they will be native DOM MessagePort objects.

例如：

// Main process
const { port1, port2 } = new MessageChannelMain()
webContents.postMessage('port', { message: 'hello' }, [port1])
// Renderer process
ipcRenderer.on('port', (e, msg) => {
  const [port] = e.ports
  // ...
})
