Replacement QWebElement?

[maximus]

I am migrating to QWebEngine from QWebKit.
It's going well so far, I am just stuck with the use of QWebElement.

Before I was checking the value of some input field in my webPage.
Is this possible with runJavascript? Can runJavascript return the value of an Input field on a webpage?

Cheers,

Old code:

        QWebElement inputNameElement = ui->webView_createWorkout->page()->mainFrame()->documentElement().findFirst("input[id=\"name-workout\"]");
        QWebElement inputCreatorElement = ui->webView_createWorkout->page()->mainFrame()->documentElement().findFirst("input[id=\"creator-workout\"]");
        QString valueName =  inputNameElement.evaluateJavaScript("this.value").toString();
        QString valueCreator =  inputCreatorElement.evaluateJavaScript("this.value").toString();

        if (valueName.size() == 0 || valueCreator.size() == 0) {
            enabled = false;
        }

        if (enabled) {
            buttonSaveElement.removeAttribute("disabled");
        }
        else {
            buttonSaveElement.setAttribute("disabled", "disabled");
        }

@maximus Yes it is quite possible using runJavaScript. Recently I too had a similar requirement. Try something similar as following:

page()->runJavaScript("document.getElementsByClassName(\"auth-box\")[0].getAttribute(\"data-token\");"
                                      ,[=](const QVariant &result){
                    QString code = result.toString();
                });

The above code searches element by class name and returns result via a callback. You can modify it easily to search it by id or tag.

Thanks for the code, I will try that.
Or maybe just coding it in JS and call the JS method? I will see what is easier :)

Here is my solution if anyone is interested. I had problem adding the js directly in the html so I used injection

QWebEngineProfile *profile = new QWebEngineProfile("MyWebChannelProfile", this);

 //    QWebEngineProfile *profile = qApp->property("WebEngineProfile").value<QWebEngineProfile*>();

 QFile webChannelJsFile(":/qtwebchannel/qwebchannel.js");
 if(  !webChannelJsFile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly) ) {
     qDebug() << QString("Couldn't open qwebchannel.js file: %1").arg(webChannelJsFile.errorString());
 }
 else {
     qDebug() << "OK webEngineProfile";
     QByteArray webChannelJs = webChannelJsFile.readAll();
     webChannelJs.append(
                 "\n"
                 "var workoutCreator"
                 "\n"
                 "new QWebChannel(qt.webChannelTransport, function(channel) {"
                 "     workoutCreator = channel.objects.workoutCreator;"
                 "});"
                 "\n"
                 "function enableSaveButton() {"
                 "var nameValue = $('#name-workout').val();"
                 "var planValue =   $('#plan-workout').val();"
                 "var creatorValue = $('#creator-workout').val();"
                 "if (nameValue.length > 0 && creatorValue.length > 0 && planValue.length > 0) {$('#btn-save-workout').prop('disabled', false);}"
                 "else {$('#btn-save-workout').prop('disabled', true);}"
                 "}"
                 );

     QWebEngineScript script;
     script.setSourceCode(webChannelJs);
     script.setName("qwebchannel.js");
     script.setWorldId(QWebEngineScript::MainWorld);
     script.setInjectionPoint(QWebEngineScript::DocumentCreation);
     script.setRunsOnSubFrames(false);
     profile->scripts()->insert(script);
 }

 QWebEnginePage *myPage = new QWebEnginePage(profile, ui->webView_createWorkout);
 ui->webView_createWorkout->setPage(myPage);

 QWebChannel *channel = new QWebChannel(myPage);
 ui->webView_createWorkout->page()->setWebChannel(channel);
 channel->registerObject("workoutCreator", this);
}

void WorkoutCreator::checkToEnableButtonSave() {
    if (intervalModel->rowCount() <= 0) {
        return;
    }
    //call JS to activate button!
    ui->webView_createWorkout->page()->runJavaScript("enableSaveButton();");
}
