Create additional events for wizView

[gen-failure]

Greetings,

I need to add additional events to my wizView, specifically:

Whenever user starts to load a new page (like clicking on a link in webview) I want to receive event in my cordova web view, something like wizViewStartLoading.

Similarly, when the the page loading is finished, I need similar event like wizViewLoadingDone.

Now, I checked the plugin architecture and it seems to me that the best solution should be to send message over wizMessenger to mainView using loadUrl("javascript:...") from to overrided onPageFinished and newly override onPageStarted.

The similar approach should work on iOS as well.

Is this the right way how to reach my needs or do you have better idea?

@MichaelBln Sorry for the late reply.

wizMessenger could be used, but I see that API a replacement for postMessage.

But I think your idea is the best way. We could add native code to execute JavaScript event using Cordova's document event code as follows:

// On WizWebView.m
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSMutableURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType {
...

NSString *js = 
    [NSString stringWithFormat:
        @"cordova.fireDocumentEvent('wizViewStartLoading', { viewName : \'%@\' })", theCustomViewName];
    [cordovaView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:js];
...
}
