Properties

Optional accelerator

accelerator?: Partial<Accelerator>

Enable keyboard shortcuts for devtools, zoom, reload, and reload ignoring cache.

Optional api

api?: ApiSettings

Configurations for API injection.

Optional autoResize

autoResize?: AutoResizeOptions

Optional autoplayPolicy

autoplayPolicy?: AutoplayPolicyOptions

Autoplay policy to apply to content in the window, can be no-user-gesture-required, user-gesture-required, document-user-activation-required. Defaults to no-user-gesture-required.

Optional backgroundColor

backgroundColor?: string

The view’s backfill color as a hexadecimal value. Not to be confused with the content background color (document.body.style.backgroundColor), this color briefly fills a view’s (a) content area before its content is loaded as well as (b) newly exposed areas when growing a view. Setting this value to the anticipated content background color can help improve user experience. Default is white.

backgroundThrottling

backgroundThrottling: boolean

Optional bounds

bounds?: Bounds

Initial bounds given relative to the window.

Optional closeBehavior

closeBehavior?: "destroy" | "hide" | "detach"

Platforms Only. Determines what happens when a view is closed in a platform window. Supersedes the deprecated detachOnClose. If not set, detaults to destroy if detachOnClose is false (default), or detach if detachOnClose is true. While this option is not updateable, it may change at runtime if detachOnClose is updated. 'hide' hides the view on the platform window that closed it. 'detach' behaves like 'detachOnClose': true. It attaches the closed view to the platform provider. 'destroy' is the default behavior as long as 'detachOnClose' is not set. It destroys the view.

componentName

componentName: "view"

Optional contentCreation

contentCreation?: ContentCreationOptions

Configures how new content (e,g, from window.open or a link) is opened.

Optional contentNavigation

contentNavigation?: NavigationRules

Restrict navigation to URLs that match an allowed pattern. In the lack of an allowlist, navigation to URLs that match a denylisted pattern would be prohibited. See here for more details.

Optional contentRedirect

contentRedirect?: NavigationRules

Optional contextMenu

contextMenu?: boolean

Deprecated

Superseded by contextMenuOptions, which offers a larger feature-set and cleaner syntax.

Default Value

true

Show the context menu when right-clicking on the view. Gives access to the devtools for the view.

Optional contextMenuOptions

contextMenuOptions?: ContextMenuOptions

Configure the context menu when right-clicking on a window.

Optional contextMenuSettings

contextMenuSettings?: ContextMenuSettings

Deprecated

Superseded by contextMenuOptions, which offers a larger feature-set and cleaner syntax.

Configure the context menu when right-clicking on a window.

Optional customContext

customContext?: any

A field that the user can use to attach serializable data that will be saved when Platform.getSnapshot is called. If a window in a Platform is trying to update or retrieve its own context, it can use the Platform.setWindowContext and Platform.getWindowContext calls. When omitted, inherits from the parent application. As opposed to customData, this is meant for frequent updates and sharing with other contexts. For usage example, see customContext Example.

Optional customData

customData?: any

A field that the user can attach serializable data to be ferried around with the window options. When omitted, inherits from the parent application.

Optional customRequestHeaders

customRequestHeaders?: CustomRequestHeaders[]

Custom headers for requests sent by the view.

Optional detachOnClose

detachOnClose?: boolean

Default Value

false

Deprecated

Platforms Only. If true, will hide and detach the View from the window for later use instead of closing, allowing the state of the View to be saved and the View to be immediately shown in a new Layout.

Optional downloadShelf

downloadShelf?: {
    enabled: boolean;
}

Controls interaction of the view with its parent window's download shelf.

Type declaration

  • enabled: boolean

    Whether downloads in this view trigger opening the download shelf on its parent BrowserWindow.

    Remarks

    If enabled: true, downloads from this view will cause the download shelf to display on the parent window even if that parent window's DownloadShelfOptions specify enabled: false.

Optional enableBeforeUnload

enableBeforeUnload?: boolean

Default Value

false

When set to true, any beforeunload handler set on Views will fire.

Optional experimental

experimental?: any

Optional fdc3InteropApi

fdc3InteropApi?: string

Optional hotkeys

hotkeys?: Hotkey[]

Defines the hotkeys that will be emitted as a hotkey event on the view. For usage example, see hotkeys Example. Within Platform, OpenFin also implements a set of pre-defined actions called keyboard commands that can be assigned to a specific hotkey in the platform manifest.

initialUrl

initialUrl: string

Optional interop

interop?: InteropConfig

Optional isClosable

isClosable?: boolean

Default Value

true

Platforms Only. If false, the view will be persistent and can't be closed through either UI or Platform.closeView. Note that the view will still be closed if the host window is closed or if the view isn't part of the new layout when running Layout.replace.

Optional manifestUrl

manifestUrl?: string

Platforms Only. Url to a manifest that contains View Options. Properties other than manifestUrl can still be used but the properties in the manifest will take precedence if there is any collision.

Optional minWidth

minWidth?: number

Optional preloadScripts

preloadScripts?: PreloadScript[]
