Qjay

Hello all , i want to set the url of webview using javascript function . the function uses regex to get the url from a web page and then i want to provide that url to webview .

below is the code

import QtQuick 2.0
import QtWebView 1.1

Item {

    property string video
    function parsing()
        {
            var http = new XMLHttpRequest();
            var  url;
            http.onreadystatechange = function(){
                /*
                  checks if the
                  request finished and response is ready ( readystate 4)
                  200: "OK"
                  */
                if(http.readyState == 4 && http.status == 200)
                {

@LeLev hey , how can i auto call the parsing() function i.e. when i load this qml the function should automatically get executed !!

Use 'Component.onCompleted' handler to assign directly your url, or to call a function which will do that.

function setUrl(idOfWebView){

         idOfWebView.url = "https://forum.qt.io"

}

WebView {
id: myWebView
anchors.fill: parent
// url: "set url here "

Component.onCompleted : { /* any JavaScript function or expressions */
                                                 //  myWebView.url = "https://forum.qt.io"      ( DIRECT )
                              
                                                    //or u can call a function like this :
                                             //    setUrl(myWebView)  // pass id of your webView to the function.    ( FUNCTION )

 }

}
