DeferredPermissionRequest object

Note

The features described in this document are no longer being maintained. For more information on the new WebView2 control, see Introduction to Microsoft Edge WebView2 (Preview).

Represents a deferred request by the content of the webview for end-user permission to access specialized device functionality (such as geolocation, or pointer lock).

// In this sample, when we receive a permission request we construct some basic UI to ask the
// user if they want to give permission.
webview.addEventListener("MSWebViewPermissionRequested", permissionRequestedEventArgs => {
    const permissionRequest = permissionRequestedEventArgs.permissionRequest;
    const requestContainer = document.createElement("div");

    // We use this function as the handler for the allow and deny buttons.
    function completeDeferredPermissionRequest(allow) {
        // Find the DeferredPermissionRequest using the id of the PermissionRequest we deferred.
        const deferredPermissionRequest = webview.getDeferredPermissionRequestById(permissionRequest.id);
        if (allow) {
            deferredPermissionRequest.allow();
        }
        else {
            deferredPermissionRequest.deny();
        }
        requestContainer.parentElement.removeChild(requestContainer);
    }

    // Construct some simple UI to tell the user about the permission request and get their
    // feedback via the allow and deny buttons
    const description = document.createElement("span");
    description.textContent = "Allow " + uri + " to access " + type + "?";

    const allow = document.createElement("button");
    allow.textContent = "Allow";
    allow.addEventListener("click", () => completeDeferredPermissionRequest(true));

    const deny = document.createElement("button");
    deny.textContent = "Deny";
    deny.addEventListener("click", () => completeDeferredPermissionRequest(false));

    requestContainer.appendChild(description);
    requestContainer.appendChild(allow);
    requestContainer.appendChild(deny);
    document.body.appendChild(requestContainer);

    permissionRequest.defer();
});
