PluginComponent

The <PluginComponent> allows the UI provided by an external application to be displayed in the application. To implement the update through inter-process communication (IPC), see @ohos.pluginComponent.

NOTE

• This component is supported since API version 9. Updates will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.
• The APIs provided by this component are system APIs.

Child Components

Not supported

APIs

PluginComponent(value: { template: PluginComponentTemplate, data: KVObject})

Creates a PluginComponent to display the UI provided by an external application.

Parameters

PluginComponentTemplate

Attributes

The width and height of the component must be explicitly set to non-zero valid values.

NOTE

The template can be provided in either of the following modes:

• Use an absolute path. In this case, set source to the absolute path of the template and leave bundleName blank. This mode is not recommended as it is applicable only to standalone templates that do not need to load resources.

• Use an application package. In this case, set bundleName to the application bundle name and source to the relative path of the HAP file template. In the multi-HAP scenario, a HAP file is identified based on its relative path and name.

  Example: {source: 'pages/PluginProviderExample.ets&entry', bundleName:'com.example.provider'}

  The template is provided only when source can be set to an ability name in the FA model.

  Example: {source:'plugin', bundleName:'com.example.provider'}

Events

Only the gesture event can be distributed to and processed inside the provider page.

In addition to the universal events, the following events are supported.

Example

PluginComponent User

//PluginUserExample.ets
import plugin from "./plugin_component"
interface Info{
  errcode:number,
  msg:string
}
@Entry
@Component
struct PluginUserExample {

  build() {
    Flex({ direction: FlexDirection.Column, alignItems: ItemAlign.Center, justifyContent: FlexAlign.Center }) {
      Text('Hello World')
        .fontSize(50)
        .fontWeight(FontWeight.Bold)
      Button('Register Request Listener')
        .fontSize(30)
        .width(400)
        .height(100)
        .margin({top:20})
        .onClick(()=>{
          plugin.onListener()
          console.log("Button('Register Request Listener')")
        })
      Button('Request')
        .fontSize(50)
        .width(400)
        .height(100)
        .margin({ top: 20 })
        .onClick(() => {
          plugin.Request()
          console.log("Button('Request')")
        })
      PluginComponent({
        template: { source: 'pages/PluginProviderExample.ets&entry', bundleName: 'com.example.plugin' },
        data: { 'countDownStartValue': 'new countDownStartValue' }
      }).size({ width: 500, height: 350 })
        .onComplete(() => {
          console.log("onComplete")
        })
        .onError((info:Info) => {
          console.log("onComplete" + info.errcode + ":" + info.msg)
        })
    }
    .width('100%')
    .height('100%')
  }
}

PluginComponent Provider

//PluginProviderExample.ets
import plugin from "./plugin_component"

@Entry
@Component
struct PluginProviderExample {
  @State message: string = 'no click!'

  build() {
    Flex({ direction: FlexDirection.Column, alignItems: ItemAlign.Center, justifyContent: FlexAlign.Center }) {
      Button('Register Push Listener')
        .fontSize(30)
        .width(400)
        .height(100)
        .margin({top:20})
        .onClick(()=>{
          plugin.onListener()
          console.log("Button('Register Push Listener')")
        })
      Button('Push')
        .fontSize(30)
        .width(400)
        .height(100)
        .margin({top:20})
        .onClick(()=>{
          plugin.Push()
          this.message = "Button('Push')"
          console.log("Button('Push')")
        })
      Text(this.message)
        .height(150)
        .fontSize(30)
        .padding(5)
        .margin(5)
    }.width('100%').height('100%').backgroundColor(0xDCDCDC).padding({ top: 5 })
  }
