Provides information about a permission request. This object is available from the permissionRequest property of the event args from the MSWebViewPermissionRequested webview event.

webview.addEventListener("MSWebViewPermissionRequested", permissionRequestedEventArgs => {
    const permissionRequest = permissionRequestedEventArgs.permissionRequest;
    switch (permissionRequest.type) {
        case "geolocation":
        case "media":
        case "pointerlock":
        case "webnotifications":
        case "screen":
        case "immersiveview":
            if (permissionRequest.uri.startsWith("https://www.example.com/")) {
                // Implicitly trust particular URI
                permissionRequest.allow();
            }
            else if (permissionRequest.uri.startsWith("https://")) {
                // Defer the request so we can ask the user to allow or deny the request
                permissionRequest.defer();
                // Later we'll need to use webview.getDeferredPermissionRequestById for this
                // request and call allow or deny.
                promptUserForDeferredPermissionRequest(
                    permissionRequest.id,
                    permissionRequest.uri,
                    permissionRequest.type);
            }
            else {
                // Implicitly deny non-https URIs
                permissionRequest.deny();
            }
            break;

        case "unlimitedIndexedDBQuota":
        default:
            permissionRequest.deny();
            break;
    }
});

Methods

allow

Allows the request for permission.

Parameters

This method has no parameters.

Return value

This method does not return a value.

defer

If instead of synchronously allowing or disallowing a PermissionRequest, you require time to interact with the user or take some other asynchronous action, call defer() on the PermissionRequest. The PermissionRequest will now be available as a DeferredPermissionRequest from getDeferredPermissionRequests and getDeferredPermissionRequestById. You can correlate the current PermissionRequest with the corresponding DeferredPermissionRequest via the matching id property.

Parameters

This method has no parameters.

Return value

This method does not return a value.

deny

Denies the request for permission.

Parameters

This method has no parameters.

Return value

This method does not return a value.

Properties

id

A unique ID that can be used to correlate the current PermissionRequest with a corresponding DeferredPermissionRequest if the defer method is used. See the defer method.

This property is read-only.

Property value

Type: Unsigned long

state

Returns "unknown", "defer", "allow", or "deny" to indicate the current state of permission request. The state string will correspond to whichever method allow, deny, or defer was called last or "unknown" if none of the methods have been called.
