add_navigate_listener #676
Conversation
|
Is generic event listener code possible? I don't think we want to add individual event listeners for every possible event. |

That progress is being tracked over at #659. I think it is possible for mac and linux, but it looks very difficult for windows, especially with our current architecture. I was going to just add this navigate listener and a window destroy listener so that the app can show a confirm dialogue and cancel the window close if the user changes his mind. dandeto@e4ef6e3 I still think we should ideally add a completely generic way to create any listener. If that is not possible, we should expose the platform specific event system. I'm still working on it. Bottom-line, a navigate event listener is 100% necessary for a webview library, whether or not we create a more robust event system. |

Looking over this again, I agree that it should be added. But it needs to support macOS first. Help porting it would be much appreciated. |

This is my first stab at creating several cross-platform event listeners! I do not have a Mac, so this only works on Linux GTK and Windows webview2. Hopefully this will inspire someone to port it to Mac.
The add_navigate_listener is a dead-simple function. When a new webpage has loaded, this listener calls whatever handler the user specified and passes it the current url. Here is an example:
Feedback appreciated!
