Usage of WKContentRule to block content on WKWebView
First, create a Content Rule or a list. Each rule is comprised of a trigger and an action. See Apple's Documentation on Content Rule creation
This is a creation example, blocks all image and Style Sheet content, but allows those ended on jpeg by way of ignoring the previous rules:
let blockRules = """
[{
"trigger": {
"url-filter": ".*",
"resource-type": ["image"]
},
"action": {
"type": "block"
}
},
{
"trigger": {
"url-filter": ".*",
"resource-type": ["style-sheet"]
},
"action": {
"type": "block"
}
},
{
"trigger": {
"url-filter": ".*.jpeg"
},
"action": {
"type": "ignore-previous-rules"
}
}]
"""
Having your list of rules, you can add them to the ContentRuleListStore
import WebKit
@IBOutlet weak var wkWebView: WKWebView!
let request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://yourSite.com/")!)
WKContentRuleListStore.default().compileContentRuleList(
forIdentifier: "ContentBlockingRules",
encodedContentRuleList: blockRules) { (contentRuleList, error) in
if let error = error {
return
}
let configuration = self.webView.configuration
configuration.userContentController.add(contentRuleList!)
self.wkWwebView.load(self.request)
}
If later you want to remove all your rules, call:
self.wkWebView.configuration.userContentController.removeAllContentRuleLists()
self.wkWebView.load(self.request)
