Reference

Props

`source`⬆

Loads static HTML or a URI (with optional headers) in the WebView. Note that static HTML will require setting originWhitelist to ["*"].

The object passed to source can have either of the following shapes:

Load uri

uri (string) - The URI to load in the WebView. Can be a local or remote file, and can be changed with React state or props to navigate to a new page.
method (string) - The HTTP Method to use. Defaults to GET if not specified. On Android and Windows, the only supported methods are GET and POST.
headers (object) - Additional HTTP headers to send with the request. On Android, this can only be used with GET requests. See the Guide for more information on setting custom headers.
body (string) - The HTTP body to send with the request. This must be a valid UTF-8 string, and will be sent exactly as specified, with no additional encoding (e.g. URL-escaping or base64) applied. On Android and Windows, this can only be used with POST requests.

Static HTML

Note that using static HTML requires the WebView property originWhiteList to ['*']. For some content, such as video embeds (e.g. Twitter or Facebook posts with video), the baseUrl needs to be set for the video playback to work

html (string) - A static HTML page to display in the WebView.
baseUrl (string) - The base URL to be used for any relative links in the HTML. This is also used for the origin header with CORS requests made from the WebView. See Android WebView Docs

Type	Required
object	No

`automaticallyAdjustContentInsets`⬆

Controls whether to adjust the content inset for web views that are placed behind a navigation bar, tab bar, or toolbar. The default value is true.

Type	Required	Platform
bool	No	iOS

`automaticallyAdjustsScrollIndicatorInsets`⬆

Controls whether to adjust the scroll indicator inset for web views that are placed behind a navigation bar, tab bar, or toolbar. The default value false. (iOS 13+)

Type	Required	Platform
bool	No	iOS(13+)

`injectedJavaScript`⬆

Set this to provide JavaScript that will be injected into the web page after the document finishes loading, but before other subresources finish loading.

Make sure the string evaluates to a valid type (true works) and doesn't otherwise throw an exception.

On iOS, see WKUserScriptInjectionTimeAtDocumentEnd. Be sure
to set an onMessage handler, even if it's a no-op, or the code will not be run.

Type	Required	Platform
string	No	iOS, Android, macOS, Windows

To learn more, read the Communicating between JS and Native guide.

Kindly note: Windows does not have native support for alerts, as such any scripts to show an alert will not work.

Example:

Post message a JSON object of window.location to be handled by onMessage

const INJECTED_JAVASCRIPT = `(function() {
    window.ReactNativeWebView.postMessage(JSON.stringify(window.location));
})();`;

<WebView
  source={{ uri: 'https://reactnative.dev' }}
  injectedJavaScript={INJECTED_JAVASCRIPT}
  onMessage={this.onMessage}
/>;

`injectedJavaScriptBeforeContentLoaded`⬆

Set this to provide JavaScript that will be injected into the web page after the document element is created, but before other subresources finish loading.

Make sure the string evaluates to a valid type (true works) and doesn't otherwise throw an exception.

On iOS, see WKUserScriptInjectionTimeAtDocumentStart

Type	Required	Platform
string	No	iOS, macOS

To learn more, read the Communicating between JS and Native guide.

Example:

Possible values:

grantIfSameHostElsePrompt: If the security origin's host of the permission request equals the host of the WebView's current URL, the permission is granted if it has been granted before. Otherwise, the user gets prompted.
grantIfSameHostElseDeny: If the security origin's host of the permission request equals the host of the WebView's current URL, the permission is granted if it has been granted before. Otherwise, it gets denied.
deny
grant: The permission is granted if it has been granted before.
prompt

Note that a grant may still result in a prompt, for example if the user has never been prompted for the permission before.

Type	Required	Platform
string	No	iOS

Example:

<WebView mediaCapturePermissionGrantType={'grantIfSameHostElsePrompt'} />

`autoManageStatusBarEnabled`

If set to true, the status bar will be automatically hidden/shown by WebView, specifically when full screen video is being watched. If false, WebView will not manage the status bar at all. The default value is true.

Type	Required	Platform
boolean	No	iOS

Example:

<WebView autoManageStatusBarEnabled={false} />

`setSupportMultipleWindows`

Sets whether the WebView supports multiple windows. See Android documentation') for more information.
Setting this to false can expose the application to this vulnerability allowing a malicious iframe to escape into the top layer DOM.

Type	Required	Default	Platform
boolean	No	true	Android

Example:

<WebView setSupportMultipleWindows={false} />

`enableApplePay`

A Boolean value which, when set to true, WebView will be rendered with Apple Pay support. Once set, websites will be able to invoke Apple Pay from React Native Webview.
This comes with a cost features like injectJavaScript, html5 History, sharedCookiesEnabled, injectedJavaScript, injectedJavaScriptBeforeContentLoaded will not work See Apple Pay Release Note.

If you are required to send message to App , webpage has to explicitly call webkit message handler and receive it on onMessage handler on react native side

window.webkit.messageHandlers.ReactNativeWebView.postMessage("hello apple pay")

Type	Required	Default	Platform
boolean	No	false	iOS

Example:

<WebView enableApplePay={true} />

`forceDarkOn`

Configuring Dark Theme
NOTE : The force dark setting is not persistent. You must call the static method every time your app process is started.

NOTE : The change from day<->night mode is a configuration change so by default the activity will be restarted and pickup the new values to apply the theme. Take care when overriding this default behavior to ensure this method is still called when changes are made.

Type	Required	Platform
boolean	No	Android

Example:

<WebView forceDarkOn={false} />

`menuItems`

An array of custom menu item objects that will be appended to the UIMenu that appears when selecting text (will appear after 'Copy' and 'Share...'). Used in tandem with onCustomMenuSelection

Example:

<WebView menuItems={[{ label: 'Tweet', key: 'tweet' }, { label: 'Save for later', key: 'saveForLater' }]} />

`onCustomMenuSelection`

Function called when a custom menu item is selected. It receives a Native event, which includes three custom keys: label, key and selectedText.

<WebView 
  menuItems={[{ label: 'Tweet', key: 'tweet' }, { label: 'Save for later', key: 'saveForLater' }]}
  onCustomMenuSelection={(webViewEvent) => {
    const { label } = webViewEvent.nativeEvent; // The name of the menu item, i.e. 'Tweet'
    const { key } = webViewEvent.nativeEvent; // The key of the menu item, i.e. 'tweet'
    const { selectedText } = webViewEvent.nativeEvent; // Text highlighted
  }}
/>

`basicAuthCredential`

An object that specifies the credentials of a user to be used for basic authentication.

username (string) - A username used for basic authentication.
password (string) - A password used for basic authentication.

Type	Required
object	No

`minimumFontSize`

Android enforces a minimum font size based on this value. A non-negative integer between 1 and 72. Any number outside the specified range will be pinned. Default value is 8. If you are using smaller font sizes and are having trouble fitting the whole window onto one screen, try setting this to a smaller value.

Type	Required	Platform
number	No	Android

Example:

<WebView minimumFontSize={1} />
