This final round of updates to the Chromium Framework greatly improves its usability for the beginner and expert alike.

As was mentioned in a previous post, the updated Framework now includes a wrapper combining the PureBasic WebGadget with the DevTools Protocol. This not only removes the need to Interface the WebView2 control for basic functionality, but exposes the Chrome API, opening access to an unlimited number of advanced features.

• The Chrome DevTools Protocol website contains all your documentation needs.
• In addition, two applications (Remote Command and DT Playground) were written to help users learn the extensive command set.

Updated:
➤ Added a custom Debug window.
➤ All examples received a major rewrite.
➤ Extensive improvements to the Framework.

Because the CrWG Framework was modified this is a recommended update.

Debug Window
• This should help with writing more complex Methods and Events.
• To use, just add the Constant #Cr_WebSocket_Enable_DevTools_Debugger = #True to the top of your program.
• See \CrWG Templates\3_Debug_Events.pb for a working example.

➤ Improved the DT_Playground.pb example/program.

DT_Playground.pb

Note: See references\readme.txt for additional information.

The following Fetch/Await and Promise script can also be tested from DT_Playground.pb:
1. Make sure the Runtime.evaluate option is selected from the ComboBoxGadget.
2. Press the Sprocket button to open the Script window.
3. Replace the script with the code below.
• If executed from the DuckDuckGo website, it will fail due to the strict Content Security Policy.
• This can be bypassed by first executing the Page.setBypassCSP method.
• If you were on the DuckDuckGo website when the Command was executed, press the Refresh button to reload the page.
4. Right-mouse-click the EditorGadget to open a context-menu: Toggle Word Wrap for a better view of the returned data.

Code: Select all

fetch('https://mdn.github.io/learning-area/javascript/apis/fetching-data/can-store/products.json')
	.then(response => response.json())
	.then(json => JSON.stringify(json))
