Description [src]

class WebKit2.WebInspector : GObject.Object
{
  priv: WebKitWebInspectorPrivate*
}

Access to the WebKit inspector.

The WebKit Inspector is a graphical tool to inspect and change the content of a WebKitWebView. It also includes an interactive JavaScript debugger. Using this class one can get a GtkWidget which can be embedded into an application to show the inspector.

The inspector is available when the WebKitSettings of the WebKitWebView has set the WebKitSettings:enable-developer-extras to true, otherwise no inspector is available.

// Enable the developer extras
WebKitSettings *settings = webkit_web_view_get_settings (WEBKIT_WEB_VIEW(my_webview));
g_object_set (G_OBJECT(settings), "enable-developer-extras", TRUE, NULL);

// Load some data or reload to be able to inspect the page
webkit_web_view_load_uri (WEBKIT_WEB_VIEW(my_webview), "http://www.gnome.org");

// Show the inspector
WebKitWebInspector *inspector = webkit_web_view_get_inspector (WEBKIT_WEB_VIEW(my_webview));
webkit_web_inspector_show (WEBKIT_WEB_INSPECTOR(inspector));

Signals

WebKit2.WebInspector::attach

Emitted when the inspector is requested to be attached to the window where the inspected web view is. If this signal is not handled the inspector view will be automatically attached to the inspected view, so you only need to handle this signal if you want to attach the inspector view yourself (for example, to add the inspector view to a browser tab).

unstable since: 4.1

WebKit2.WebInspector::bring-to-front

Emitted when the inspector should be shown.

unstable since: 4.1

WebKit2.WebInspector::closed

Emitted when the inspector page is closed. If you are using your own inspector window, you should connect to this signal and destroy your window.

unstable since: 4.1

WebKit2.WebInspector::detach

Emitted when the inspector is requested to be detached from the window it is currently attached to. The inspector is detached when the inspector page is about to be closed, and this signal is emitted right before WebKitWebInspector::closed, or when the user clicks on the detach button in the inspector view to show the inspector in a separate window. In this case the signal WebKitWebInspector::open-window is emitted after this one.

unstable since: 4.1

WebKit2.WebInspector::open-window

Emitted when the inspector is requested to open in a separate window. If this signal is not handled, a GtkWindow with the inspector will be created and shown, so you only need to handle this signal if you want to use your own window. This signal is emitted after WebKitWebInspector::detach to show the inspector in a separate window after being detached.

unstable since: 4.1
