TiWebViewExtension

This is a simple extension to Appcelerator Titanium that allows you to set cookies & user agents for TiWebViews on iOS. This project was totally inspired by TiWebViewUserAgent.

Installation

1. Add the following to the <modules> tag in your tiapp.xml.

<modules>
    <module version="0.1">com.ptrikutam.tiwebviewextension</module>
</modules>

2. Copy the file titled com.ptrikutam.tiwebviewextension-iphone-0.1.zip into your Titanium project directory. Titanium will automatically unzip this and place the appropriate files in the modules/ directory.

Usage

Make sure to require the module like so:

var TiWebViewExtension = require('com.ptrikutam.tiwebviewextension');

Set your cookie and user agent like so:

TiWebViewExtension.setWebViewCookie({
	cookieName:"cookie_test",
	cookieValue:"true",
	cookieDomain: ".pavantrikutam.com",
	cookiePath: "/"
});

TiWebViewExtension.setWebViewUserAgent('Custom User Agent');

The whole thing:

var webview = Titanium.UI.createWebView({ 
	url:'http://www.pavantrikutam.com'
});



TiWebViewExtension.setWebViewCookie({
	cookieName:"cookie_test",
	cookieValue:"true",
	cookieDomain: ".pavantrikutam.com",
	cookiePath: "/"
});

TiWebViewExtension.setWebViewUserAgent('Custom User Agent');

You can verify the settings worked by checking the cookies & user agent on load.

webview.addEventListener('load',function(e) {
    var cookies = webview.evalJS("document.cookie").split(";"); 
    Ti.API.info( "# of cookies -> " + cookies.length  );
    for (i = 0; i <= cookies.length - 1; i++) {
            Ti.API.info( "cookie -> " + cookies[i] );
    }

    var userAgent = webview.evalJS("navigator.userAgent");
    Ti.API.info("User Agent: " + userAgent);
});

Options

You can set cookies with the following options:

• cookieName : Sets the name of cookie.
• cookieValue : Sets the cookie's value.
• cookieDomain : Sets cookie Domain.
• cookiePath : Sets path of cookie.
• cookieVersion : Sets the cookie version.
• cookieExpires : Sets expire date of cookie. Leaving it blank will default to a cookie expiring after session is complete.

TODO

• Create validation to check values passed for cookie / user agent
  • Return better error messaging
• Create Android version
• Add default values to domain, path, etc.
