nativescript-ssi-awesome-webview

Based on nativescript-awesome-webview. This has been updated only to reference androidx libs instead of android support. It works with NS 6.1

A WebView plugin for NativeScript {N} that uses Chrome Custom Tabs in Android and SFSafariViewController in iOS. It is awesome because now you can use the system's default browser, letting people maintain active logins across websites (instead of having to freshly login to sites in the scope of your app's webview). Which means the custom tabs (or safari view) loads really fast! Also you can set the color of the title bar and controls of the custom tab / safari view.

Prerequisites / Requirements

As of now, there aren't any prerequisites. This should work with any device, any OS.

Installation

For tns projects (Angular, Typescript, Javascript)

tns plugin add nativescript-ssi-awesome-webview

For vue-cli projects (Nativescript-Vue)

npm install nativescript-ssi-awesome-webview

Usage

Require

Javascript -

const {init, openWebView} = require('nativescript-ssi-awesome-webview');

Typescript -

import {init, openWebView} from 'nativescript-ssi-awesome-webview';

1. Initialise (optional, only Android)

init()

NOTE: This warms up the Chrome Custom Tab on Android For details check this

Calling init() does nothing on iOS. So if you're making for both OS, calling the function doesn't hurt in iOS.

2. Open an URL

    openWebView({
      url: 'http://google.com',
      toolbarColor: '#2277aa',
      toolbarControlsColor: '#eebb99'
    });

openWebView options
