Returns the Window Object that represents the web context of the target window. This is the same object that you would get from calling window.open() in a standard web context. The target window needs to be in the same application as the requesting window as well as comply with same-origin policy requirements.
Injecting content into an empty window.
In this example we create a blank child window and populte it with some simple html.
(async ()=> {
try {
const winName = `child-window-${Date.now()}`;
const win = await fin.Window.create({
name: winName,
url: 'about:blank'
});
win.getWebWindow().document.write('<h1>Hello World</h1>');
} catch (err) {
console.error(err);
}
})();Cloning DOM elements from the parent window
In this example we clone an h3 element from the parent window.
(async ()=> {
try {
const currentWindow = await fin.Window.getCurrent();
const parentWindow = await currentWindow.getParentWindow();
const clonedH3 = parentWindow.getWebWindow().document.querySelector('h3').cloneNode(true);
document.body.append(clonedH3);
} catch (err) {
console.error(err);
}
})();Rendering on a child window via a library
In this example we are using the lit-html template library to render content on a blank child window. you are not going to be able to copy paste this example without configuring the project correctly but this would demonstrate some templeting options available.
(async ()=> {
try {
const win = await fin.Window.create({
name: `child-window-${Date.now()}`,
url: 'about:blank'
});
const template = html`
<div>
<span>Click here: </span>
<button @click=${()=> console.log('Hello World!')}>log to the console</button>
</div>`;
render(template, win.getWebWindow().document.body);
} catch (err) {
console.error(err);
}
})();
