Struct STWebHistory 

pub struct STWebHistory { /* private fields */ }

Available on crate feature STWebHistory only.

The object you use to delete web-usage data.

This class provides an easy way for you to delete web history, including:

Implementations

impl STWebHistory

pub unsafe fn initWithBundleIdentifier_profileIdentifier_error( this: Allocated<Self>, bundle_identifier: &NSString, profile_identifier: Option<&STWebHistoryProfileIdentifier>, ) -> Result<Retained<Self>, Retained<NSError>>

Creates a web history instance to delete web-usage data associated to the bundle identifier and profile identifier you specify.

The default value for bundleIdentifier is Bundle.main.bundleIdentifier. This is the recommended identifier to use, except for example, if a helper process is presenting web UI and you want to group that web-usage under the main app’s bundle identifier.

The default value for profileIdentifier is nil. This identifier can be used to delete browsing history for a specific profile. Using nil will only delete web history reported without a profile identifier.

• Parameters:
• bundleIdentifier: The bundle identifier.
• profileIdentifier: The identifier of the current browsing profile.
• error: Any error that occurred while changing the bundle identifier.

pub unsafe fn initWithProfileIdentifier( this: Allocated<Self>, profile_identifier: Option<&STWebHistoryProfileIdentifier>, ) -> Retained<Self>

Creates a web history instance to delete web-usage data associated to the profile identifier you specify.

The default value for profileIdentifier is nil. This identifier can be used to delete browsing history for a specific profile. Using nil will only delete web history reported without a profile identifier.

• Parameters:
• profileIdentifier: The identifier of the current browsing profile.

pub unsafe fn initWithBundleIdentifier_error( this: Allocated<Self>, bundle_identifier: &NSString, ) -> Result<Retained<Self>, Retained<NSError>>

Creates a web history instance to delete web-usage data associated to the bundle identifier you specify.

The default value for bundleIdentifier is Bundle.main.bundleIdentifier. This is the recommended identifier to use, except for example, if a helper process is presenting web UI and you want to group that web-usage under the main app’s bundle identifier.

• Parameters:
• bundleIdentifier: The bundle identifier.
• error: Any error that occurred while changing the bundle identifier.

pub unsafe fn fetchHistoryDuringInterval_completionHandler( &self, interval: &NSDateInterval, completion_handler: &DynBlock<dyn Fn(*mut NSSet<NSURL>, *mut NSError)>, )

Available on crate feature block2 only.

Fetches web history that occurred during the date interval you specify.

• Parameters:
• interval: The date interval of web history you want to fetch.

pub unsafe fn fetchAllHistoryWithCompletionHandler( &self, completion_handler: &DynBlock<dyn Fn(*mut NSSet<NSURL>, *mut NSError)>, )

Available on crate feature block2 only.

Fetches all web history associated with the bundle identifier and profile identifier you specified during initialization.

pub unsafe fn deleteHistoryForURL(&self, url: &NSURL)

Deletes all the web history for the URL you specify.

The framework references the entire URL to determine which web-usage data to delete.

• Parameters:
• url: The URL associated with the web history to delete.

pub unsafe fn deleteHistoryDuringInterval(&self, interval: &NSDateInterval)

Deletes web history that occurred during the date interval you specify.

• Parameters:
• interval: The date interval of web history you want to delete.

pub unsafe fn deleteAllHistory(&self)

Deletes all web history associated with the bundle identifier you specified during initialization.

impl STWebHistory

Methods declared on superclass NSObject.

pub unsafe fn init(this: Allocated<Self>) -> Retained<Self>

pub unsafe fn new() -> Retained<Self>

Methods from Deref<Target = NSObject>

pub fn doesNotRecognizeSelector(&self, sel: Sel) -> !

Handle messages the object doesn’t recognize.

See Apple’s documentation for details.

Methods from Deref<Target = AnyObject>

pub fn class(&self) -> &'static AnyClass

Dynamically find the class of this object.

Panics

May panic if the object is invalid (which may be the case for objects returned from unavailable init/new methods).

Example

Check that an instance of NSObject has the precise class NSObject.

use objc2::ClassType;
use objc2::runtime::NSObject;

let obj = NSObject::new();
assert_eq!(obj.class(), NSObject::class());

pub unsafe fn get_ivar<T>(&self, name: &str) -> &T

where T: Encode,

👎Deprecated: this is difficult to use correctly, use Ivar::load instead.

Use Ivar::load instead.

Safety

The object must have an instance variable with the given name, and it must be of type T.

See Ivar::load_ptr for details surrounding this.

pub fn downcast_ref<T>(&self) -> Option<&T>

where T: DowncastTarget,

Attempt to downcast the object to a class of type T.

This is the reference-variant. Use Retained::downcast if you want to convert a retained object to another type.

Mutable classes

Some classes have immutable and mutable variants, such as NSString and NSMutableString.

When some Objective-C API signature says it gives you an immutable class, it generally expects you to not mutate that, even though it may technically be mutable “under the hood”.

So using this method to convert a NSString to a NSMutableString, while not unsound, is generally frowned upon unless you created the string yourself, or the API explicitly documents the string to be mutable.

See Apple’s documentation on mutability and on isKindOfClass: for more details.

Generic classes

Objective-C generics are called “lightweight generics”, and that’s because they aren’t exposed in the runtime. This makes it impossible to safely downcast to generic collections, so this is disallowed by this method.

You can, however, safely downcast to generic collections where all the type-parameters are AnyObject.

Panics

This works internally by calling isKindOfClass:. That means that the object must have the instance method of that name, and an exception will be thrown (if CoreFoundation is linked) or the process will abort if that is not the case. In the vast majority of cases, you don’t need to worry about this, since both root objects NSObject and NSProxy implement this method.

Examples

Cast an NSString back and forth from NSObject.

use objc2::rc::Retained;
use objc2_foundation::{NSObject, NSString};

let obj: Retained<NSObject> = NSString::new().into_super();
let string = obj.downcast_ref::<NSString>().unwrap();
// Or with `downcast`, if we do not need the object afterwards
let string = obj.downcast::<NSString>().unwrap();

Try (and fail) to cast an NSObject to an NSString.

use objc2_foundation::{NSObject, NSString};

let obj = NSObject::new();
assert!(obj.downcast_ref::<NSString>().is_none());

Try to cast to an array of strings.

use objc2_foundation::{NSArray, NSObject, NSString};

let arr = NSArray::from_retained_slice(&[NSObject::new()]);
// This is invalid and doesn't type check.
let arr = arr.downcast_ref::<NSArray<NSString>>();

This fails to compile, since it would require enumerating over the array to ensure that each element is of the desired type, which is a performance pitfall.

Downcast when processing each element instead.

use objc2_foundation::{NSArray, NSObject, NSString};

let arr = NSArray::from_retained_slice(&[NSObject::new()]);

for elem in arr {
    if let Some(data) = elem.downcast_ref::<NSString>() {
        // handle `data`
    }
}
