It's used to access the browser's JavaScript context. This allows interaction with embedding pages or calling third-party JavaScript APIs. \ **Note:** This singleton can be disabled at build-time to improve security. By default, the JavaScriptBridge singleton is enabled. Official export templates also have the JavaScriptBridge singleton enabled. See :doc:`Compiling for the Web <../contributing/development/compiling/compiling_for_web>` in the documentation for more information. .. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group Tutorials --------- - `Exporting for the Web: Calling JavaScript from script <../tutorials/export/exporting_for_web.html#calling-javascript-from-script>`__ .. rst-class:: classref-reftable-group Methods ------- .. table:: :widths: auto +-------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`JavaScriptObject` | :ref:`create_callback` **(** :ref:`Callable` callable **)** | +-------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`Variant` | :ref:`create_object` **(** :ref:`String` object, ... **)** |vararg| | +-------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | void | :ref:`download_buffer` **(** :ref:`PackedByteArray` buffer, :ref:`String` name, :ref:`String` mime="application/octet-stream" **)** | +-------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`Variant` | :ref:`eval` **(** :ref:`String` code, :ref:`bool` use_global_execution_context=false **)** | +-------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | void | :ref:`force_fs_sync` **(** **)** | +-------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`JavaScriptObject` | :ref:`get_interface` **(** :ref:`String` interface **)** | +-------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`bool` | :ref:`pwa_needs_update` **(** **)** |const| | +-------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | :ref:`Error` | :ref:`pwa_update` **(** **)** | +-------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ .. rst-class:: classref-section-separator ---- .. rst-class:: classref-descriptions-group Signals ------- .. _class_JavaScriptBridge_signal_pwa_update_available: .. rst-class:: classref-signal **pwa_update_available** **(** **)** Emitted when an update for this progressive web app has been detected but is waiting to be activated because a previous version is active. See :ref:`pwa_update` to force the update to take place immediately. .. rst-class:: classref-section-separator ---- .. rst-class:: classref-descriptions-group Method Descriptions ------------------- .. _class_JavaScriptBridge_method_create_callback: .. rst-class:: classref-method :ref:`JavaScriptObject` **create_callback** **(** :ref:`Callable` callable **)** Creates a reference to a :ref:`Callable` that can be used as a callback by JavaScript. The reference must be kept until the callback happens, or it won't be called at all. See :ref:`JavaScriptObject` for usage. .. rst-class:: classref-item-separator ---- .. _class_JavaScriptBridge_method_create_object: .. rst-class:: classref-method :ref:`Variant` **create_object** **(** :ref:`String` object, ... **)** |vararg| Creates a new JavaScript object using the ``new`` constructor. The ``object`` must a valid property of the JavaScript ``window``. See :ref:`JavaScriptObject` for usage. .. rst-class:: classref-item-separator ---- .. _class_JavaScriptBridge_method_download_buffer: .. rst-class:: classref-method void **download_buffer** **(** :ref:`PackedByteArray` buffer, :ref:`String` name, :ref:`String` mime="application/octet-stream" **)** Prompts the user to download a file containing the specified ``buffer``. The file will have the given ``name`` and ``mime`` type. \ **Note:** The browser may override the `MIME type `__ provided based on the file ``name``'s extension. \ **Note:** Browsers might block the download if :ref:`download_buffer` is not being called from a user interaction (e.g. button click). \ **Note:** Browsers might ask the user for permission or block the download if multiple download requests are made in a quick succession. .. rst-class:: classref-item-separator ---- .. _class_JavaScriptBridge_method_eval: .. rst-class:: classref-method :ref:`Variant` **eval** **(** :ref:`String` code, :ref:`bool` use_global_execution_context=false **)** Execute the string ``code`` as JavaScript code within the browser window. This is a call to the actual global JavaScript function ``eval()``. If ``use_global_execution_context`` is ``true``, the code will be evaluated in the global execution context. Otherwise, it is evaluated in the execution context of a function within the engine's runtime environment. .. rst-class:: classref-item-separator ---- .. _class_JavaScriptBridge_method_force_fs_sync: .. rst-class:: classref-method void **force_fs_sync** **(** **)** Force synchronization of the persistent file system (when enabled). \ **Note:** This is only useful for modules or extensions that can't use :ref:`FileAccess` to write files. .. rst-class:: classref-item-separator ---- .. _class_JavaScriptBridge_method_get_interface: .. rst-class:: classref-method :ref:`JavaScriptObject` **get_interface** **(** :ref:`String` interface **)** Returns an interface to a JavaScript object that can be used by scripts. The ``interface`` must be a valid property of the JavaScript ``window``. The callback must accept a single :ref:`Array` argument, which will contain the JavaScript ``arguments``. See :ref:`JavaScriptObject` for usage. .. rst-class:: classref-item-separator ---- .. _class_JavaScriptBridge_method_pwa_needs_update: .. rst-class:: classref-method :ref:`bool` **pwa_needs_update** **(** **)** |const| Returns ``true`` if a new version of the progressive web app is waiting to be activated. \ **Note:** Only relevant when exported as a Progressive Web App. .. rst-class:: classref-item-separator ---- .. _class_JavaScriptBridge_method_pwa_update: .. rst-class:: classref-method :ref:`Error` **pwa_update** **(** **)** Performs the live update of the progressive web app. Forcing the new version to be installed and the page to be reloaded. \ **Note:** Your application will be **reloaded in all browser tabs**. \ **Note:** Only relevant when exported as a Progressive Web App and :ref:`pwa_needs_update` returns ``true``. .. |virtual| replace:: :abbr:`virtual (This method should typically be overridden by the user to have any effect.)` .. |const| replace:: :abbr:`const (This method has no side effects. It doesn't modify any of the instance's member variables.)` .. |vararg| replace:: :abbr:`vararg (This method accepts any number of arguments after the ones described here.)` .. |constructor| replace:: :abbr:`constructor (This method is used to construct a type.)` .. |static| replace:: :abbr:`static (This method doesn't need an instance to be called, so it can be called directly using the class name.)` .. |operator| replace:: :abbr:`operator (This method describes a valid operator to use with this type as left-hand operand.)` .. |bitfield| replace:: :abbr:`BitField (This value is an integer composed as a bitmask of the following flags.)`
