\title WebEngine Fancy Browser Example
\brief Demonstrates how to use browse web and manipulate content
\brief The Fancy Browser example shows how to use JQuery with QtWebEngine to
create a web browser with special effects and content
manipulation.
\image fancybrowser-example.png
The application makes use of QWebEnginePage::evaluateJavaScript to
evaluate the jQuery JavaScript code. A QMainWindow with a QWebEngineView
as central widget builds up the browser itself.
\section1 MainWindow Class Definition
The \c MainWindow class inherits QMainWindow. It implements a number of
slots to perform actions on both the application and on the web content.
\snippet fancybrowser/mainwindow.h 1
We also declare a QString that contains the jQuery, a QWebView
that displays the web content, and a QLineEdit that acts as the
address bar.
\section1 MainWindow Class Implementation
We start by implementing the constructor.
\snippet fancybrowser/mainwindow.cpp 1
The first part of the constructor sets the value of \c progress to
0. This value will be used later in the code to visualize the
loading of a webpage.
Next, the jQuery library is loaded using a QFile and reading the file
content. The jQuery library is a JavaScript library that provides different
functions for manipulating HTML.
\snippet fancybrowser/mainwindow.cpp 2
The second part of the constructor creates a QWebView and connects
slots to the views signals. Furthermore, we create a QLineEdit as
the browsers address bar. We then set the horizontal QSizePolicy
to fill the available area in the browser at all times. We add the
QLineEdit to a QToolbar together with a set of navigation actions
from QWebView::pageAction.
\snippet fancybrowser/mainwindow.cpp 3
The third and last part of the constructor implements two QMenus and assigns
a set of actions to them. The last line sets the QWebView as the central
widget in the QMainWindow.
\snippet fancybrowser/mainwindow.cpp 4
When the page is loaded, \c adjustLocation() updates the address
bar; \c adjustLocation() is triggered by the \c loadFinished()
signal in QWebView. In \c changeLocation() we create a QUrl
object, and then use it to load the page into the QWebView. When
the new web page has finished loading, \c adjustLocation() will be
run once more to update the address bar.
\snippet fancybrowser/mainwindow.cpp 5
\c adjustTitle() sets the window title and displays the loading
progress. This slot is triggered by the \c titleChanged() signal
in QWebView.
\snippet fancybrowser/mainwindow.cpp 6
When a web page has loaded, \c finishLoading() is triggered by the
\c loadFinished() signal in QWebView. \c finishLoading() then updates the
progress in the title bar and calls \c evaluateJavaScript()
to evaluate the jQuery library. This evaluates the JavaScript against the
current web page. What that means is that the JavaScript can be viewed as
part of the content loaded into the QWebView, and therefore needs to be
loaded every time a new page is loaded. Once the jQuery library is loaded,
we can start executing the different jQuery functions in the browser.
The rotateImages() function is then called explicitely to make sure
that the images of the newly loaded page respect the state of the toggle
action.
\snippet fancybrowser/mainwindow.cpp 7
The first jQuery-based function, \c highlightAllLinks(), is designed to
highlight all links in the current webpage. The JavaScript code looks
for web elements named \e {a}, which is the tag for a hyperlink.
For each such element, the background color is set to be yellow by
using CSS.
\snippet fancybrowser/mainwindow.cpp 8
The \c rotateImages() function rotates the images on the current
web page. This JavaScript code relies on CSS transforms and
looks up all \e {img} elements and rotates the images 180 degrees
and then back again.
\snippet fancybrowser/mainwindow.cpp 9
The remaining four methods remove different elements from the current web
page. \c removeGifImages() removes all GIF images on the page by looking up
the \e {src} attribute of all the elements on the web page. Any element with
a \e {gif} file as its source is removed. \c removeInlineFrames() removes all
\e {iframe} or inline elements. \c removeObjectElements() removes all
\e {object} elements, and \c removeEmbeddedElements() removes any elements
such as plugins embedded on the page using the \e {embed} tag.
