Brings the specified view to the front of its current window. This ensures the view will be visible on top of any other views which have overlapping bounds with it.

Shows a popup window.
Note: If this WebContents is a view and its attached window has a popup open, this will close it.
Shows a popup window. Including a name in options will attempt to show an existing window as a popup, if
that window doesn't exist or no name is included a window will be created. If the caller view or the caller
view's parent window currently has a popup window open, calling showPopupWindow again will dismiss the currently
open popup window before showing the new popup window. Also, if the caller view is destroyed or detached, the popup
will be dismissed.
Note: in the case where the window being shown as a popup needs to be created, it is a child of the caller view's parent window.
Create and show a single-use popup window that returns a single result to the caller. initialOptions allows
us to pass window options to the popup window that will be created. resultDispatchBehavior: 'close' ensures
that once the popup window calls dispatchPopupResult it is closed. blurBehavior: 'close' will yield a dismissed
result should the popup window lose focus.
const result = await fin.me.showPopupWindow({
initialOptions: {
frame: false
},
url: '<my_popup_url>',
resultDispatchBehavior: 'close',
blurBehavior: 'close',
focus: true,
height: 300,
width: 300,
x: 0,
y: 0
});
Same as above but using an existing window as a popup by referencing its name:
Note: if a window with the name provided doesn't exist, it will be created.
const result = await fin.me.showPopupWindow({
initialOptions: {
frame: true
},
name: 'my-popup', // shows the 'my-popup' window if it exists, otherwise creates it
url: '<my_popup_url>', // navigates to this url if it doesn't match the location.href of the 'my-popup' window
resultDispatchBehavior: 'close',
blurBehavior: 'close',
focus: true,
hideOnClose: true, // persist window on 'dismissed' result, alternatively change onResultDispatch and blurBehavior to 'hide'
height: 300,
width: 300,
x: 0,
y: 0
});
Create and show a popup window that is able to return multiple results to the caller via an onPopupResult callback. Each
time the popup window calls dispatchPopupResult, the callback will be executed on the result. Once the popup window is
closed or hidden, the showPopupWindow promise will resolve with a dismissed result that will include the most recently
dispatched result as lastDispatchResult:
const popupResultCallback = (payload) => {
if (payload.result === 'clicked') {
if (payload.data.topic === 'color-changed') {
// do something like
// setColor(payload.data.value);
}
}
};
await fin.me.showPopupWindow({
initialOptions: {
frame: false
},
url: '<my_popup_url>',
resultDispatchBehavior: 'none',
blurBehavior: 'close',
focus: true,
height: 300,
width: 300,
x: 0,
y: 0,
onPopupResult: popupResultCallback
});
Same as above but using an existing window as a popup:
const popupResultCallback = (payload) => {
if (payload.result === 'clicked') {
if (payload.data.topic === 'color-changed') {
// do something like
// setColor(payload.data.value);
}
}
};
await fin.me.showPopupWindow({
initialOptions: {
frame: false
},
name: 'my-popup', // shows the 'my-popup' window if it exists, otherwise creates it
url: '<my_popup_url>', // navigates to this url if it doesn't match the location.href of the 'my-popup' window
resultDispatchBehavior: 'none',
blurBehavior: 'hide',
focus: true,
hideOnClose: true, // we can just use this or we can change blurBehavior to 'hide'
height: 300,
width: 300,
x: 0,
y: 0,
onPopupResult: popupResultCallback
});
Create or show a popup window that disables user movement (positioning and resizing) in the caller
view's parent window by using blurBehavior: 'modal':
const result = await fin.me.showPopupWindow({
initialOptions: {
frame: false
},
url: '<my_popup_url>',
resultDispatchBehavior: 'close',
blurBehavior: 'modal',
focus: true,
height: 300,
width: 300,
x: 0,
y: 0
});
Create a popup window as a modal:
Note: The only way to ensure true modal behavior is to create the window being shown as a popup with a
modalParentIdentity that uses the caller view's parent window identity.
const result = await fin.me.showPopupWindow({
initialOptions: {
frame: false,
modalParentIdentity: fin.me.identity
},
url: '<my_popup_url>',

Pass data to a popup window that is available when the popup is shown.
Note: this is just one example for a use of additionalOptions, it can be used to update any updatable
window options when creating or showing an existing window as a popup.
const result = await fin.me.showPopupWindow({
additionalOptions: {
customData: {
foo: 'bar'
}
},
url: '<my_popup_url>',
resultDispatchBehavior: 'close',
blurBehavior: 'close',
focus: true,
height: 300,
width: 300,
x: 0,
y: 0
});
// Access from the popup window context like so:
const { customData } = await fin.me.getOptions();
const { foo } = customData;
Execute a callback on the popup's OpenFin window when the popup is shown:
const popupWindowCallback = async (win) => {
await win.flash();
};
const result = await fin.me.showPopupWindow({
url: '<my_popup_url>',
resultDispatchBehavior: 'close',
blurBehavior: 'close',
focus: true,
height: 300,
width: 300,
x: 0,
y: 0,
onPopupReady: popupWindowCallback;
});
WebContents refers to shared functionality between OpenFin.Window and OpenFin.View.
We do not expose an explicit superclass for this functionality, but it does have its own
event namespace.
Stop a findInPage call by specifying any of these actions:
View:
const view = fin.View.getCurrentSync();
view.addListener('found-in-page', (event) => {
setTimeout(() => {
view.stopFindInPage('clearSelection');
}, 5000);
});
view.findInPage('a').then(results => {
console.log(results);
});
Window:
const win = fin.Window.getCurrentSync();
win.addListener('found-in-page', (event) => {
setTimeout(() => {
win.stopFindInPage('clearSelection');
}, 5000);
});
win.findInPage('a').then(results => {
console.log(results);
});

Stops any current navigation the WebContents is performing.
View:

const view = await fin.View.wrap({ name: 'testapp-view', uuid: 'testapp' });
await view.navigate('https://www.google.com');
return await view.stopNavigation();
}
stopNavigation().then(() => console.log('you shall not navigate')).catch(err => console.log(err));
Window:
async function stopNavigation() {
const win = await fin.Window.wrap({ name: 'testapp', uuid: 'testapp' });
await win.navigate('https://www.google.com');
return await win.stopNavigation();
}
stopNavigation().then(() => console.log('you shall not navigate')).catch(err => console.log(err));

ExperimentalTriggers the before-unload handler for the View, if one is set.
Returns true if the handler is trying to prevent the View from unloading, and false if it isn't.
Only enabled when setting enableBeforeUnload: true in your View options. If this option is not enabled it will
always return false.
This method is used internally by the Platform Provider to determine the status of each before unload handler in Views when closing the Window.
// from inside a View context
const unloadPrevented = await fin.me.triggerBeforeUnload();
ExperimentalUpdates the view's options.
let view;
async function createView() {
const me = await fin.Window.getCurrent();
return fin.View.create({
url: 'https://google.com',
name: 'viewNameUpdateOptions',
target: me.identity,
bounds: {top: 10, left: 10, width: 200, height: 200}
});
}
async function updateViewOptions() {
view = await createView();
console.log('View created.');
await view.navigate('https://google.com');
console.log('View navigated to given url option.');
const newOptions = { autoResize: {
width: true,
horizontal: true
}};
return view.updateOptions(newOptions);
}
updateViewOptions()
.then(payload => console.log('View options updated: ', payload))
.catch(err => console.log(err));
A View can be used to embed additional web content into a Window. It is like a child window, except it is positioned relative to its owning window. It has the ability to listen for View-specific events.
By default, a View will try to share the same renderer process as other Views owned by its parent Application. To change that behavior, see the processAffinity view option.
A View's lifecycle is tied to its owning window and can be re-attached to a different window at any point during its lifecycle.
