Harness the Web Within Your App with SureWebViewController

Robert Harris -

In the bustling ecosystem of iOS applications, embedding web content seamlessly can significantly enhance the user experience. SureWebViewController is a robust open-source library hosted on GitHub, crafted to empower developers to swiftly integrate web view controllers within their iOS applications. This library is a treasure trove of features including:

  • Loading both local and remote web pages.
  • Customizing the appearance and behavior of the web view.
  • Handling web page events efficiently.

Let's delve into some practical code snippets illustrating how SureWebViewController can be wielded in your project.

Basic Utilization:

import UIKit
import SureWebViewController

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    @IBOutlet weak var webView: SureWebViewController!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        // Loading a local webpage
        webView.load(url: Bundle.main.url(forResource: "index", withExtension: "html")!)

        // Customizing the web view appearance
        webView.backgroundColor = .white
        webView.tintColor = .black

        // Handling web page events
        webView.onDidFinishLoading = {
            print("Web page successfully loaded")
        }
        webView.onDidFailLoading = { error in
            print("Web page loading failed: \(error)")
        }
    }
}

Stepping Further:

// Loading a remote webpage
webView.load(url: URL(string: "https://www.example.com")!)

// Setting up the navigation bar for the web view
webView.navigationBar.title = "Web Page Title"
webView.navigationBar.tintColor = .red

// Handling JavaScript events from the web page
webView.onDidReceiveScriptMessage = { message in
    print("Received JS event: \(message)")
}
