The web content is loaded in a web engine view within the tab view. If certificate errors occur, users are prompted for action in a message dialog. The status bar pops up to display the URL of a hovered link. A web page can issue a request for being displayed in fullscreen mode. Users can allow full screen mode by using a toolbar button. They can leave fullscreen mode by using a keyboard shortcut. Additional toolbar buttons enable moving backwards and forwards in the browser history, reloading tab content, and opening a settings menu for enabling the following features: JavaScript, plugins, fullscreen mode, off the record, HTTP disk cache, autoloading images, and ignoring certificate errors. \include examples-run.qdocinc \section1 Creating the Main Browser Window When the browser main window is loaded, it creates an empty tab using the default profile. Each tab is a web engine view that fills the main window. We create the main window in the \e BrowserWindow.qml file using the ApplicationWindow type: \quotefromfile webenginequick/quicknanobrowser/BrowserWindow.qml \skipto ApplicationWindow \printuntil currentWebView \dots \skipto width \printuntil title We use the TabBar Qt Quick control to create a tab bar anchored to the top of the window, and create a new, empty tab: \skipto TabBar { \printuntil return webview \printuntil } The tab contains a web engine view that loads web content: \skipto Component { \printuntil currentWebView.reload \printuntil /^\ {8}\}/ We use the \l Action type to create new tabs: \quotefromfile webenginequick/quicknanobrowser/BrowserWindow.qml \skipto reload \skipto Action \printuntil } We use the \l TextField Qt Quick Control within a \l ToolBar to create an address bar that shows the current URL and where users can enter another URL: \quotefromfile webenginequick/quicknanobrowser/BrowserWindow.qml \skipto menuBar: ToolBar \printuntil anchors.fill \dots \skipto TextField \printuntil addressBar \dots \skipto focus \printuntil /^\ {12}\}/ \section1 Handling Certificate Errors If the certificate of the site being loaded triggers a certificate error, we call the \l{WebEngineCertificateError::}{defer()} QML method to pause the URL request and wait for user input: \quotefromfile webenginequick/quicknanobrowser/BrowserWindow.qml \skipto onCertificateError \printuntil } We use the Dialog type to prompt users to continue or cancel the loading of the web page. If users select \uicontrol Yes, we call the \l{WebEngineCertificateError::}{acceptCertificate()} method to continue loading content from the URL. If users select \uicontrol No, we call the \l{WebEngineCertificateError::}{rejectCertificate()} method to reject the request and stop loading content from the URL: \skipto Dialog { \printuntil /^\ {4}\}/ \section1 Handling Feature Permission Requests We use the \c onFeaturePermissionRequested() signal handler to handle requests for accessing a certain feature or device. The \c securityOrigin parameter identifies the requester web site, and the \c feature parameter is the requested feature. We use these to construct the message of the dialog: \quotefromfile webenginequick/quicknanobrowser/BrowserWindow.qml \skipto onFeaturePermissionRequested \printuntil } We show a dialog where the user is asked to grant or deny access. The custom \c questionForFeature() JavaScript function generates a human-readable question about the request. If users select \uicontrol Yes, we call the \l{WebEngineView::}{grantFeaturePermission()} method with a third \c true parameter to grant the \c securityOrigin web site the permission to access the \c feature. If users select \uicontrol No, we call the same method but with the \c false parameter to deny access: \skipto id: sslDialog \skipto Dialog { \printuntil /^\ {4}\}/ \section1 Entering and Leaving Fullscreen Mode We create a menu item for allowing fullscreen mode in a settings menu that we place on the tool bar. Also, we create an action for leaving fullscreen mode by using a keyboard shortcut. We call the \l{FullScreenRequest::}{accept()} method to accept the fullscreen request. The methdod sets the \l{WebEngineView::}{isFullScreen} property to be equal to the \l{FullScreenRequest::}{toggleOn} property. \quotefromfile webenginequick/quicknanobrowser/BrowserWindow.qml \skipto onFullScreenRequested \printuntil /^\ {16}\}/ When entering fullscreen mode, we display a notification using the FullScreenNotification custom type that we create in \e FullScreenNotification.qml. We use the \l Action type in the settings menu to create a shortcut for leaving fullscreen mode by pressing the escape key: \quotefromfile webenginequick/quicknanobrowser/BrowserWindow.qml \skipto Settings \printuntil appSettings \skipto fullScreenSupportEnabled \printuntil Action \skipto Escape \printuntil /^\ {4}\}/ \section1 Handling WebAuth/FIDO UX Requests We use the \c onWebAuthUxRequested() signal handler to handle requests for WebAuth/FIDO UX. The \c request parameter is an instance of WebEngineWebAuthUxRequest which contains UX request details and APIs required to process the request. We use it to construct WebAuthUX dialog and initiates the UX request flow. \quotefromfile webenginequick/quicknanobrowser/BrowserWindow.qml \skipto onWebAuthUxRequested \printuntil } The \l WebEngineWebAuthUxRequest object periodically emits the \l {WebEngineWebAuthUxRequest::}{stateChanged} signal to notify potential observers of the current WebAuth UX states. The observers update the WebAuth dialog accordingly. We use onStateChanged() signal handler to handle state change requests. See \c WebAuthDialog.qml for an example of how these signals can be handled. \quotefromfile webenginequick/quicknanobrowser/WebAuthDialog.qml \skipto Connections \printuntil } \skipto function init(request) \printuntil } \section1 Signing Requirement for macOS To allow web sites access to the location, camera, and microphone when running \e {Quick Nano Browser} on macOS, the application needs to be signed. This is done automatically when building, but you need to set up a valid signing identity for the build environment. \section1 Files and Attributions The example uses icons from the Tango Icon Library: \table \row \li \l{quicknanobrowser-tango}{Tango Icon Library} \li Public Domain \endtable */
