# Web Component Development

The **\<Web>** component can be used to display web pages. For details, see [Web](../reference/arkui-ts/ts-basic-components-web.md).

## Creating a Component

Create a **\<Web>** component in the .ets file under **main/ets/MainAbility/pages**. Then, in the created component, use **src** to specify the web page URI to be referenced, and bind a controller to the component to call the component APIs.

  ```ts
  // xxx.ets
  import web_webview from '@ohos.web.webview';

  @Entry
  @Component
  struct WebComponent {
    controller: web_webview.WebviewController = new web_webview.WebviewController();
    build() {
      Column() {
        Web({ src: 'https://www.example.com', controller: this.controller })
      }
    }
  }
  ```

## Setting Styles and Attributes

When using the **\<Web>** component, you must specify the styles and attributes. The sample code is as follows.

```ts
// xxx.ets
import web_webview from '@ohos.web.webview';

@Entry
@Component
struct WebComponent {
  fileAccess: boolean = true;
  controller: web_webview.WebviewController = new web_webview.WebviewController();
  build() {
    Column() {
      Text('Hello world!')
        .fontSize(20)
      Web({ src: 'https://www.example.com', controller: this.controller })
        // Set the height and padding.
        .height(500)
        .padding(20)
        // Set the file access permission and script execution permission.
        .fileAccess(this.fileAccess)
        .javaScriptAccess(true)
      Text('End')
        .fontSize(20)
    }
  }
}
```
## Adding Events and Methods

Add the **onProgressChange** event for the **\<Web>** component, which is triggered when the loading progress changes and returns the progress value in its callback. Assign the progress value to the **\<Progress>** component to control the status of the component. When the progress reaches 100%, the **\<Progress>** component is hidden, and the web page loading is complete.

```ts
// xxx.ets
import web_webview from '@ohos.web.webview';

@Entry
@Component
struct WebComponent {
  @State progress: number = 0;
  @State hideProgress: boolean = true;
  fileAccess: boolean = true;
  controller: web_webview.WebviewController = new web_webview.WebviewController();
  build() {
    Column() {
      Text('Hello world!')
        .fontSize(20)
      Progress({value: this.progress, total: 100})
        .color('#0000ff')
        .visibility(this.hideProgress ? Visibility.None : Visibility.Visible)
      Web({ src: 'https://www.example.com', controller: this.controller })
        .fileAccess(this.fileAccess)
        .javaScriptAccess(true)
        .height(500)
        .padding(20)
        // Add an onProgressChange event.
        .onProgressChange(e => {
          this.progress = e.newProgress;
          // When the progress reaches 100%, the progress bar disappears.
          if (this.progress === 100) {
            this.hideProgress = true;
          } else {
            this.hideProgress = false;
          }
        })
      Text('End')
        .fontSize(20)
    }
  }
}
```
Add the **runJavaScript** method to the **onPageEnd** event. The **onPageEnd** event is triggered when the web page finishes loading. In this case, the **runJavaScript** method can be used to execute JavaScript scripts in the HTML file. In the sample code below, when the web page finishes loading, the **onPageEnd** event is triggered to call the **test** method in the HTML file and print information on the console.

```ts
// xxx.ets
import web_webview from '@ohos.web.webview';

@Entry
@Component
struct WebComponent {
  @State progress: number = 0;
  @State hideProgress: boolean = true;
  @State webResult: string = ''
  fileAccess: boolean = true;
  // Define the controller for the \<Web> component.
  controller: web_webview.WebviewController = new web_webview.WebviewController();
  build() {
    Column() {
      Text('Hello world!')
        .fontSize(20)
      Progress({value: this.progress, total: 100})
        .color('#0000ff')
        .visibility(this.hideProgress ? Visibility.None : Visibility.Visible)
      // Initialize the \<Web> component and bind it to the controller.
      Web({ src: $rawfile('index.html'), controller: this.controller })
        .fileAccess(this.fileAccess)
        .javaScriptAccess(true)
        .height(500)
        .padding(20)
        .onProgressChange(e => {
          this.progress = e.newProgress;
          if (this.progress === 100) {
            this.hideProgress = true;
          } else {
            this.hideProgress = false;
          }
        })
        .onPageEnd(e => {
          // test() is defined in index.html.
          try {
            this.controller.runJavaScript(
              'test()',
              (error, result) => {
                if (error) {
                  console.info(`run JavaScript error: ` + JSON.stringify(error))
                  return;
                }
                if (result) {
                  this.webResult = result
                  console.info(`The test() return value is: ${result}`)
                }
              });
            console.info('url: ', e.url);
          } catch (error) {
            console.error(`ErrorCode: ${error.code},  Message: ${error.message}`);
          }
        })
      Text('End')
        .fontSize(20)
    }
  }
}
```

Create an HTML file in **main/resources/rawfile**.

```html
<!-- index.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<body>
    Hello world!
</body>
<script type="text/javascript">
  function test() {
      console.info('Ark Web Component');
  }
</script>
</html>
```

## Enabling Web Debugging
To debug web pages in the **\<Web>** component on a device, connect the device to a PC through the USB port, and then set the **webDebuggingAccess** attribute of the **\<Web>** component to **true** and enable port forwarding on the PC.

The configuration procedure is as follows:

1. Set the **webDebuggingAccess** attribute of the **\<Web>** component to **true**.
  ```ts
  // xxx.ets
  import web_webview from '@ohos.web.webview';

  @Entry
  @Component
  struct WebComponent {
    controller: web_webview.WebviewController = new web_webview.WebviewController();
    build() {
      Column() {
        Web({ src: 'www.example.com', controller: this.controller })
          .webDebuggingAccess(true) // true means to enable web debugging.
      }
    }
  }
  ```

2. Enable port forwarding on the PC and add a mapping for TCP port 9222.
  ```ts
  hdc fport tcp:9222 tcp:9222
  ```
  You can run the following command to view the existing mapping table:
  ```ts
  hdc fport ls
  ```
When you are done, you can debug a web page as follows: On the target device, open the **\<Web>** component in the application and access the web page to debug; on the PC, use the Chrome browser to access **http://localhost:9222** and start to debug the web page.

## Scenario Example

In this example, you'll implement a **\<Web>** component where videos can be played dynamically. Embed a video resource into an HTML page, and then use the **\<Web>** component controller to invoke the **onActive** and **onInactive** methods to activate and pause page rendering, respectively. Upon clicking of the **onInactive** button, the **\<Web>** component stops rendering and the video playback pauses. Upon clicking of the **onActive** button, the **\<Web>** component is activated and the video playback resumes.

  ```ts
  // xxx.ets
import web_webview from '@ohos.web.webview';

@Entry
@Component
struct WebComponent {
  controller: web_webview.WebviewController = new web_webview.WebviewController();
  build() {
    Column() {
      Row() {
        Button('onActive').onClick(() => {
          console.info("Web Component onActive");
          try {
            this.controller.onActive();
          } catch (error) {
            console.error(`Errorcode: ${error.code}, Message: ${error.message}`);
          }
        })
        Button('onInactive').onClick(() => {
          console.info("Web Component onInactive");
          try {
            this.controller.onInactive();
          } catch (error) {
            console.error(`Errorcode: ${error.code}, Message: ${error.message}`);
          }
        })
      }
      Web({ src: $rawfile('index.html'), controller: this.controller })
        .fileAccess(true)
    }
  }
}
  ```

  ```html
  <!-- index.html -->
  <!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <body>
      <video width="320" height="240" controls="controls" muted="muted" autoplay="autoplay">
          <!-- The test.mp4 video file is stored in main/resources/rawfile. -->
          <source src="test.mp4" type="video/mp4">
      </video>
  </body>
  </html>
  ```
