[Interest] resturn string to javascript inside QWebEngineView

[Jason H]

I did this, in some abandoned work. Turns out QWebWhatever didn't do it right on iOS. It can't return a QVariantMap, you have to stringify it.

Timer {
		id: testTimer
		interval: 1000
		repeat:false
		running: false
		onTriggered: {
			webview.runJavaScript("try {testResult} catch (e) {'undefined'}", function (result) {
				console.log('object', JSON.stringify(result));
			});
			webview.runJavaScript("try {JSON.stringify(testResult)} catch (e) {'undefined'}", function (result) {
				console.log('stringified', JSON.stringify(result));
			});

		}
		onRunningChanged: console.log('running', running);
	}

	WebView {
		id: webview
		anchors.fill: parent
		onLoadProgressChanged: {
			console.log('loadProgress', loadProgress)
			if (loadProgress == 100) testTimer.running = true;
		}
	}
