QWebEngineView框架简介及加载网页方法

基于Widget的QWebEngine架构
通过本篇文章，大致可以了解基于Widget的QWebEngine框架的几个关键类。

由上图可见，从上至下，呈现一种树状结构。

QWebEngineView
A web view is the main widget component of the Qt WebEngine web browsing module. It can be used in various applications to display web content live from the Internet.

根据Qt官方的描述，QWebEngineView 具备了加载从Internet加载网页的基本能力。
官方Demo可以看出

QWebEngineView *view = new QWebEngineView(parent);
view->load(QUrl("http://qt-project.org/"));
view->show();

通过上面的类的定义，可以发现，其中有个page()接口,关于page()接口的描述：

The page() function returns a pointer to a web page object. A QWebEngineView contains a QWebEnginePage, which in turn allows access to the QWebEngineHistory in the page’s context.

page() 函数返回一个指向网页对象的指针。 QWebEngineView 包含一个 QWebEnginePage，它反过来允许访问页面上下文中的 QWebEngineHistory。
关于QWebEngineView下QWebEnginePage的疑问
上面说，page()返回一个指向网页对象的指针。QWebEngineView包含一个QWebEnginePage。 能不能包含多个呢？ 大家知道，我们的Chrome浏览器，打开多个网页时，是有多个标签页的，这里的“标签页”，是不是可以和这里的page对应上呢？

这让我注意到了另一个接口： setPage(QWebEnginePage page)*

void QWebEngineView::setPage(QWebEnginePage *page)
1
Makes page the new web page of the web view.
The parent QObject of the provided page remains the owner of the object. If the current page is a child of the web view, it will be deleted.

所提供页面的父 QObject 仍然是对象的所有者。 如果当前页面是 web 视图的子页面，它将被删除。
看到这里，我有点迷惑的。意思是新设置一个页面后，当前页面会被删除？ 那岂不是始终只有一个page，起不到多标签页的效果。

应该是我理解的不对。知道我看到了官方的Demo， 稍后再详细介绍。

QWebEnginePage
A web engine page holds the contents of an HTML document, the history of navigated links, and actions.

正如上述结构图描述的那样，QWebEnginePage包含HTML内容，导航历史连接，和一些Actions。
这些Actions如：前进（Forward），后退(Back)，停止(Stop)，重新加载（Reload）等操作。

要特别注意QWebEnginePage和QWebProfile的关系
All pages belong to a web engine profile that contains shared settings, scripts, and cookies. Profiles can be used to isolate pages from each other. A typical use case is a dedicated profile for a private browsing mode, where no information is permanently saved.

所有的页面(page)都属于一个web engine的Profile， 该profile包含共享配置，脚本和cookies。配置文件可用于将页面(pages)隔离。一个典型的用例是用于隐私浏览模式的专用配置文件，其中不会永久保存任何信息。

page和profile关系的疑惑
All pages belong to a web engine profile. 前半句说所有的页面都属于一个profile。 难道这个profile是一个集合。应该不是的，我们在浏览器的设置里面会发现如下两个选项：

New Window
New Private Window
那么在一个Window下的page，应该是都遵循了特定的profile. 因此上面那段描述说的隔离，应该是针对不同window下的profile而言的。这一点也可以在官方的Simple Browser看到。

QWebEnginePage下的三个内容
QWebEngineHistory
Each web engine page contains a history of visited pages that can be accessed by QWebEnginePage::history().

盲猜也是类似与历史记录之类的东西。先不详细了解。

QWebEngineAction
QWebEngineProfile
A web engine profile contains settings, scripts, persistent cookie policy, and the list of visited links shared by all web engine pages that belong to the profile.

看看QWebEngineProfile包含了哪些内容

settings
scripts
cookie
QWebEngineSettings
QWebEngineSettings allows configuration of browser properties, such as font sizes and families, the location of a custom style sheet, and generic attributes, such as JavaScript support. Individual attributes are set using the setAttribute() function. The WebAttribute enum further describes each attribute.

看类型名大概也可以猜出个一二三，像是类似浏览器的设置。

允许设置浏览器的属性，如字体大小和类型，一些常见的属性，比如是否支持JavaScript。WebAttribute描述了很多相关的属性。
QWebEngineScript
QWebEngineScript enables the programmatic injection of so called user scripts in the JavaScript engine at different points, determined by injectionPoint(), during the loading of web contents.

QWebEngineScript 允许在加载 Web 内容期间在 JavaScript 引擎中的不同点（由 injectionPoint() 确定）以编程方式注入所谓的用户脚本

Cookie related
和Cookie相关的大概有这么几个接口，这里先记录下，暂时不做研究

QWebEngineCookieStore *QWebEngineProfile::cookieStore();
QWebEngineProfile::PersistentCookiesPolicy    persistentCookiesPolicy() const;
void    setPersistentCookiesPolicy(QWebEngineProfile::PersistentCookiesPolicy newPersistentCookiesPolicy);

QWebEnginePage加载网页
QWebEngineView 类下，还有一个QWebEnginePage的类。 虽然QWebEngineView也有一个loadUrl接口，但是，大部分时候，还是以QWebEnginePage来加载网页。因为QWebEnginePage中有关于可以运行javascript的接口，而且可以通过QWebEngineHistory提供网页的浏览历史及导航，和一些QAction操作网页。

两种形式的加载接口
在QWebEnginePage中，其实有两个接口

load()接口
void QWebEnginePage::load(const QUrl &url)
// Loads url into this page.
// Note: The view remains the same until enough data has arrived to display the new URL.
// See also setUrl(), setHtml(), and setContent().

直接加载url到该page, 只有当数据足够多时，才会显示新的URL内容。 该接口相对简单。

setHtml()接口
void QWebEnginePage::setHtml(const QString &html, const QUrl &baseUrl = QUrl())
// Sets the content of this page to html. baseUrl is optional and used to 
//resolve relative URLs in the document, such as referenced images or stylesheets.

该接口第一个参数可以理解成某个html文件的内容，比如空白文件:

#define BLANK_HTML  "<!DOCTYPE html><html><head></head><body></body></html>
