Swift version: 5.6
If you want to generate HTML locally and show it inside your app, it's easy to do in both UIWebView
and WKWebView
. First, here's the code for UIWebView
:
let webView1 = UIWebView()
webView1.loadHTMLString("<html><body><p>Hello!</p></body></html>", baseURL: nil)
And now here's the code for WKWebView
:
let webView2 = WKWebView()
webView2.loadHTMLString("<html><body><p>Hello!</p></body></html>", baseURL: nil)
If you want to load resources from a particular place, such as JavaScript and CSS files, you can set the baseURL
parameter to any URL
. This could, for example, be the resource path for your app bundle, which would allow you to use local images and other assets alongside your generated HTML.
