CoreWebView2Frame.AddHostObjectToScript Method

Definition

Adds the provided host object to script running in the WebViewFrame with the specified name for the list of the specified origins. The host object will be accessible for this iframe only if the iframe's origin during access matches one of the origins which are passed. The provided origins will be normalized before comparing to the origin of the document. So the scheme name is made lower case, the host will be punycode decoded as appropriate, default port values will be removed, and so on. This means the origin's host may be punycode encoded or not and will match regardless. If list contains malformed origin the call will fail. The method can be called multiple times in a row without calling RemoveHostObjectFromScript for the same object name. It will replace the previous object with the new object and new list of origins. List of origins will be treated as following:

  1. empty list - call will succeed and object will be added for the iframe but it will not be exposed to any origin;
  2. list with origins - during access to host object from iframe the origin will be checked that it belongs to this list;
  3. list with "*" element - host object will be available for iframe for all origins. We suggest not to use this feature without understanding security implications of giving access to host object from from iframes with unknown origins.
  4. list with "file://" element - host object will be available for iframes loaded via file protocol.
