To autoscale a webpage inside a good old WebView in Swift, all I had to do was:
var w:UIWebView
w.scalesPageToFit=true
I cannot find an equivalent method for a WKWebView, and webpages appear too big in my app. How can I autoscale the contents of a WKWebView?
-I am using Xcode 7 and Swift
Here is my solution:
extension WKWebView {
private struct key {
static let scale = unsafeBitCast(Selector("scalesPageToFit"), UnsafePointer<Void>.self)
}
private var sourceOfUserScript: String {
return "(function(){\n" +
" var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];\n" +
" var nodes = head.getElementsByTagName('meta');\n" +
" var i, meta;\n" +
" for (i = 0; i < nodes.length; ++i) {\n" +
" meta = nodes.item(i);\n" +
" if (meta.getAttribute('name') == 'viewport') break;\n" +
" }\n" +
" if (i == nodes.length) {\n" +
" meta = document.createElement('meta');\n" +
" meta.setAttribute('name', 'viewport');\n" +
" head.appendChild(meta);\n" +
" } else {\n" +
" meta.setAttribute('backup', meta.getAttribute('content'));\n" +
" }\n" +
" meta.setAttribute('content', 'width=device-width, user-scalable=no');\n" +
"})();\n"
}
var scalesPageToFit: Bool {
get {
return objc_getAssociatedObject(self, key.scale) != nil
}
set {
if newValue {
if objc_getAssociatedObject(self, key.scale) != nil {
return
}
let time = WKUserScriptInjectionTime.AtDocumentEnd
let script = WKUserScript(source: sourceOfUserScript, injectionTime: time, forMainFrameOnly: true)
configuration.userContentController.addUserScript(script)
objc_setAssociatedObject(self, key.scale, script, objc_AssociationPolicy.OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC)
if URL != nil {
evaluateJavaScript(sourceOfUserScript, completionHandler: nil)
}
} else if let script = objc_getAssociatedObject(self, key.scale) as? WKUserScript {
objc_setAssociatedObject(self, key.scale, nil, objc_AssociationPolicy.OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN_NONATOMIC)
configuration.userContentController.removeUserScript(script)
if URL != nil {
let source = "(function(){\n" +
" var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];\n" +
" var nodes = head.getElementsByTagName('meta');\n" +
" for (var i = 0; i < nodes.length; ++i) {\n" +
" var meta = nodes.item(i);\n" +
" if (meta.getAttribute('name') == 'viewport' && meta.hasAttribute('backup')) {\n" +
" meta.setAttribute('content', meta.getAttribute('backup'));\n" +
" meta.removeAttribute('backup');\n" +
" }\n" +
" }\n" +
"})();"
evaluateJavaScript(source, completionHandler: nil)
}
}
}
}
}
extension WKUserContentController {
public func removeUserScript(script: WKUserScript) {
let scripts = userScripts
removeAllUserScripts()
scripts.forEach {
if $0 != script { self.addUserScript($0) }
}
}
}
This worked for me, if there is an easier or cleaner way, let us know. In this example I resize the WKWebview everytime the device's screen orientation changes, place the code in your ViewController. In my case the website I loaded could already autosize itself in a browswer, and with this code, it will also resize inside a WKWebView:
onViewDidLoad{
// other initialization code here...
screenWidth=UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.width
screenHeight=UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.height
}
var screenWidth:CGFloat=0
var screenHeight:CGFloat=0
func resizeAccordingToOrientation(){
if UIDevice.currentDevice().orientation.isLandscape.boolValue {
var frame:CGRect = webView!.frame;
frame.size = CGSizeMake(screenHeight, screenWidth-getNavBarHeight())//w,h !!!
frame.origin.x=0
frame.origin.y=getNavBarHeight()
webView!.frame = frame;
//print("Origin x: "+(webView?.frame.origin.x.description)!+" , "+(webView?.frame.origin.y.description)!)
}
else{
var frame:CGRect = webView!.frame;
frame.size = CGSizeMake(screenWidth,screenHeight-getNavBarHeight()-self.navigationController!.navigationBar.frame.origin.y)
frame.origin.x=0
frame.origin.y=getNavBarHeight()+self.navigationController!.navigationBar.frame.origin.y
webView!.frame = frame;
//print("Origin x: "+(webView?.frame.origin.x.description)!+" , "+(webView?.frame.origin.y.description)!)
}
}
func getNavBarHeight() -> CGFloat{
return self.navigationController!.navigationBar.frame.size.height
}
