I tried to call a Javascript function from swift using below code but can't access the Javascript function
This is how I create the Javascript context object:
lazy var context: JSContext? = {
let context = JSContext()
guard let
JSPath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "IAV", ofType: "html")
else {
print("Unable to read resource files.")
return nil
}
do {
let iav = try String(contentsOfFile: JSPath, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)
_ = context?.evaluateScript(iav)
} catch (let error) {
print("Error while processing script file: \(error)")
}
return context
}()
//Set value to js
func setToken(Token:String)
{
let jsmethod = context?.objectForKeyedSubscript("setIAVToken")
let passParameter = jsmethod?.call(withArguments: [Token])
}
The content of html file is
sample IAV form
</head> <body > <header> </header> <main> <h1>Registration Form</h1> <form id="myform" method="post"> <div id="mainContainer"> <input type="button" id="start" value="Add Bank"> </div>var value="dhjhsd";
var setIAVToken = function(token) { value= token; } $('#start').click(function() { var iavToken = value; alert(iavToken) dwolla.configure('uat'); dwolla.iav.start('iavContainer', iavToken, function(err, res) { console.log('Error: ' + JSON.stringify(err) + ' -- Response: ' + JSON.stringify(res)); }); }); </script> </html>

You should probably use WKWebView (which is the new way to load web content in a webview in iOS since it uses WebKit and has lots of improvements like better memory allocation than it does WebView).
In a swift file WebviewBridging.swift in iOS you could have something like
import UIKit
import WebKit
class WebviewBridging: UIViewController, WKNavigationDelegate {
var webView: WKWebView?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Create a WKWebView instance
webView = WKWebView (frame: self.view.frame, configuration: webConfig)
view.addSubview(webView!)
}
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "index", withExtension: "html")!
webView!.loadFileURL(url, allowingReadAccessTo: url)
}
func callJSFunctionFromSwift(){
webView!.evaluateJavaScript("changeBackgroundColor('red')", completionHandler: nil)
}
}
In an index.html file on your iOS project folder you could have something like:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script>
function changeBackgroundColor(colorText) {
document.body.style.background = colorText;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Whenever you will call callJSFunctionFromSwift() in swift it will communicate with the WKWebView through XPC communication and evaluate your javascript code that will trigger the javascript function in index.html.

In case of objective c do the following:
#import <JavaScriptCore/JavaScriptCore.h> in header file.
Next use this code inside viewcontroller.
NSString *jsPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"JSFileName" ofType:@"js"];
NSString *scriptString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:jsPath encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
JSContext *context = [[JSContext alloc] init];
context = [[JSContext alloc] init];
[context evaluateScript:scriptString];
JSValue *function = context[@"setMessage"];
JSValue* result = [function callWithArguments:@[@"your custom string"]]; //pass the string whatever you want.
[result toString]; // This will give the value in string format.
