Loading a URL in a WKWebView
in Swift is quite similar to loading it in a UIWebView
. Here’s how to do it:
import UIKit import WebKit class ViewController: UIViewController, WKNavigationDelegate { var webView: WKWebView! override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Create a WKWebView instance webView = WKWebView(frame: view.bounds) webView.navigationDelegate = self view.addSubview(webView) // Load the URL if let url = URL(string: "https://www.example.com") { let request = URLRequest(url: url) webView.load(request) } } // WKNavigationDelegate method to handle page loading func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!) { print("Page loaded") } }
In the above code, we first import the WebKit
framework and declare a WKWebView
instance as a class variable. Then, in the viewDidLoad
method, we create the WKWebView
, set its navigationDelegate
to self
, and add it as a subview to the current view.
Next, we check if the URL we want to load is valid and create a URLRequest
instance from it. Finally, we call the load
method on the webView
instance and pass in the URLRequest
.
To handle the completion of page loading, we implement the webView(_:didFinish:)
method of the WKNavigationDelegate
protocol.
That’s it! The URL will now be loaded in the WKWebView
.
