webFrame

The web-frame module allows you to customize the rendering of the current web page.

An example of zooming current page to 200%.

var webFrame = require('electron').webFrame;

webFrame.setZoomFactor(2);

Methods

The web-frame module has the following methods:

webFrame.setZoomFactor(factor)

• factor Number - Zoom factor.

Changes the zoom factor to the specified factor. Zoom factor is zoom percent divided by 100, so 300% = 3.0.

webFrame.getZoomFactor()

Returns the current zoom factor.

webFrame.setZoomLevel(level)

• level Number - Zoom level

Changes the zoom level to the specified level. The original size is 0 and each increment above or below represents zooming 20% larger or smaller to default limits of 300% and 50% of original size, respectively.

webFrame.getZoomLevel()

Returns the current zoom level.

webFrame.setZoomLevelLimits(minimumLevel, maximumLevel)

• minimumLevel Number
• maximumLevel Number

Sets the maximum and minimum zoom level.

webFrame.setSpellCheckProvider(language, autoCorrectWord, provider)

• language String
• autoCorrectWord Boolean
• provider Object

Sets a provider for spell checking in input fields and text areas.

The provider must be an object that has a spellCheck method that returns whether the word passed is correctly spelled.

An example of using node-spellchecker as provider:

webFrame.setSpellCheckProvider("en-US", true, {
  spellCheck: function(text) {
    return !(require('spellchecker').isMisspelled(text));
  }
});

webFrame.registerURLSchemeAsSecure(scheme)

• scheme String

Registers the scheme as secure scheme.

Secure schemes do not trigger mixed content warnings. For example, https and data are secure schemes because they cannot be corrupted by active network attackers.

webFrame.registerURLSchemeAsBypassingCSP(scheme)

• scheme String

Resources will be loaded from this scheme regardless of the current page's Content Security Policy.

webFrame.registerURLSchemeAsPrivileged(scheme)

• scheme String

Registers the scheme as secure, bypasses content security policy for resources, allows registering ServiceWorker and supports fetch API.

webFrame.insertText(text)

• text String

Inserts text to the focused element.

webFrame.executeJavaScript(code[, userGesture])

• code String
• userGesture Boolean (optional) - Default is false.

Evaluates code in page.

In the browser window some HTML APIs like requestFullScreen can only be invoked by a gesture from the user. Setting userGesture to true will remove this limitation.
