loadUrl method

Future<void> loadUrl({ required URLRequest urlRequest, @Deprecated('Use `allowingReadAccessTo` instead') Uri? iosAllowingReadAccessTo, Uri? allowingReadAccessTo, })

Loads the given urlRequest.

• allowingReadAccessTo, used in combination with urlRequest (using the file:// scheme), it represents the URL from which to read the web content. This URL must be a file-based URL (using the file:// scheme). Specify the same value as the URL parameter to prevent WebView from reading any other content. Specify a directory to give WebView permission to read additional files in the specified directory. NOTE: available only on iOS.

NOTE for Android: when loading an URL Request using "POST" method, headers are ignored.

Supported Platforms/Implementations:

• Android native WebView (Official API - WebView.loadUrl). If method is "POST", Official API - WebView.postUrl
• iOS (Official API - WKWebView.load. If allowingReadAccessTo is used, Official API - WKWebView.loadFileURL)

Implementation

Future<void> loadUrl(
    {required URLRequest urlRequest,
    @Deprecated('Use `allowingReadAccessTo` instead')
        Uri? iosAllowingReadAccessTo,
    Uri? allowingReadAccessTo}) async {
  assert(urlRequest.url != null && urlRequest.url.toString().isNotEmpty);
  assert(iosAllowingReadAccessTo == null ||
      iosAllowingReadAccessTo.isScheme("file"));

  Map<String, dynamic> args = <String, dynamic>{};
  args.putIfAbsent('urlRequest', () => urlRequest.toMap());
  args.putIfAbsent(
      'allowingReadAccessTo',
      () =>
          allowingReadAccessTo?.toString() ??
          iosAllowingReadAccessTo?.toString());
  await _channel.invokeMethod('loadUrl', args);
