WKWebKit Mac OS NSPrintOperation












6















WebKit 1 exposed the WebFrameView where I could all a print operation.



- (void)webView:(WebView *)sender printFrameView:(WebFrameView *)frameView {
NSPrintOperation *printOperation = [frameView printOperationWithPrintInfo:[NSPrintInfo sharedPrintInfo]];
[printOperation runOperation];
}


With WKWebKit API I can't seem to figure out how to perform a similar action or which view to grab for printing. All my efforts have come up with blank pages.

Amazingly, WKWebView still doesn't support printing on macOS, despite the legacy WebView being deprecated.



Looking at https://github.com/WebKit/webkit/commit/0dfc67a174b79a8a401cf6f60c02150ba27334e5 , printing was implemented years ago as a private API, but for some reason, has not been exposed. If you don't mind using a private API, you can print by adding this to your view controller:



open override func printOperation(withSettings printSettings: [NSPrintInfo.AttributeKey : Any]) throws -> NSPrintOperation {
let printSelector = (Selector("_printOperationWithPrintInfo:")) // https://github.com/WebKit/webkit/commit/0dfc67a174b79a8a401cf6f60c02150ba27334e5
if webView.responds(to: printSelector), let printOperation: NSPrintOperation = webView.perform(printSelector, with: self.printInfo)?.takeUnretainedValue() as? NSPrintOperation {
return printOperation
}
}
