Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

    • Note: This is not supported on iOS <11
  • Adds support for capturing URLs.
    • This allows the app to open external links in an external browser and handle tel-links
  • Added functions like:
    • executeJavaScript(code: string) for executing JavaScript-code and getting result.
    • executePromise(code: string) for calling promises and getting the result.
    • getTitle() returns document.title.
  • Two-Way event listeners between NativeScript and WebView
    • From NativeScript to WebView
    • From WebView to NativeScript
  • Adds functions to inject css- and javascript-files.
    • Into the current page.
    • Auto-injected on page load.
  • Polyfills:
    • Promise
    • Fetch API (overrides Native API on Android to support x-local:// and file://)
  • Allows alert, confirm and prompt with WkWebView.
  • Supports:
    • Android 19+
    • iOS 11+: Full support
    • iOS <11: Partial support

Update minSdkVersion to 19 or higher

Android SDK 19 is required, update App_Resources/Android/app.gradle:

android {
  defaultConfig {
    minSdkVersion 19 // change this line
    generatedDensities = []
  }
  aaptOptions {
    additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"
  }
}

Core support

Load in template like this:

<Page class="page" xmlns="http://schemas.nativescript.org/tns.xsd" xmlns:nota="nativescript-webview-ext2">
    <ActionBar class="action-bar">
        <Label class="action-bar-title" text="Home"></Label>
    </ActionBar>

    <nota:WebViewExt src="https://nota.dk"></<nota:WebViewExt>
</Page>

Angular support

Import WebViewExtModule from nativescript-webview-ext2/angular and add it to your NgModule.

This registers the element WebViewExt. Replace the <WebView> tag with <WebViewExt>

Vue support

Import nativescript-webview-ext2/vue in your app entry file (likely app.js or main.js).

This registers the element WebViewExt. Replace the <WebView> tag with <WebViewExt>

Usage

Limitations

The custom-scheme handler for x-local:// is only supported by Android and iOS 11+

Custom-scheme support for iOS <11 was removed because of ITMS-90809.

Defaults to true | | builtInZoomControls | true / false | Android: Is the built-in zoom mechanisms being used | | cacheMode | default / no_cache / cache_first / cache_only | Android: Set caching mode. | | databaseStorage | true / false | Android: Enable/Disabled database storage API.

Defaults to true. | | supportZoom | true / false | Android: should the webview support zoom | | viewPortSize | false / view-port string / ViewPortProperties | Set the viewport metadata on load finished. Note: WkWebView sets initial-scale=1.0 by default. | | limitsNavigationsToAppBoundDomains | false | iOS: allows to enable Service Workers Note: If set to true, WKAppBoundDomains also should be set in info.plist. |

| Function | Description | | --- | --- | | loadUrl(src: string): Promise | Open a URL and resolves a promise once it has finished loading. | | registerLocalResource(resourceName: string, path: string): void; | Map the "x-local://{resourceName}" => "{path}". | | unregisterLocalResource(resourceName: string): void; | Removes the mapping from "x-local://{resourceName}" => "{path}" | | getRegisteredLocalResource(resourceName: string): void; | Get the mapping from "x-local://{resourceName}" => "{path}" | | loadJavaScriptFile(scriptName: string, filepath: string) | Inject a javascript-file into the webview.

WebView

Inside the WebView we have the nsWebViewBridge for sending events between the NativeScript-layer and the WebView. Note: The bridge will only be available DOMContentLoaded or onload inside the WebView.

| Function | Description | | --- | --- | | window.nsWebViewBridge.on(eventName: string, cb: (data: any) => void) | Registers handlers for events from the native layer. | | window.nsWebViewBridge.off(eventName: string, cb?: (data: any) => void) | Unregister handlers for events from the native layer. | | window.nsWebViewBridge.emit(eventName: string, data: any) | Emits event to NativeScript layer. Will be emitted on the WebViewExt as any other event, data will be a part of the WebViewEventData-object |

Waiting for nsWebViewBridge to be available

    window.addEventListener("ns-bridge-ready", function(e) {
        var nsWebViewBridge = e.detail || window.nsWebViewBridge;

        // do stuff here
    });

iOS disable zoom

    webview.on(WebViewExt.loadFinishedEvent, (args) => {
        webview.executeJavaScript(`
            (meta => {
                meta.setAttribute('name', 'viewport');
                meta.setAttribute('content', 'initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no');
                document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(meta);
            })(document.createElement('meta'));
        `);
    });
