Change subject: webadmin: Cross-window communication support for UI plugins ...................................................................... webadmin: Cross-window communication support for UI plugins This patch introduces support for cross-window (cross-origin) communication that can be utilized by UI plugins, i.e. custom content (contributed by UI plugin) talks back to UI plugin code via WebAdmin (parent) window. This enables custom content to pass arbitrary messages back to given UI plugin(s) which might, or might not, react to them. The implementation is based on HTML5 window.postMessage API that triggers 'message' events on the target (i.e. WebAdmin parent) window. WebAdmin takes care of intercepting such messages, doing allowed source origin checks, and passing message data to UI plugins as appropriate. Sample UI plugin code: <snip> var api = parent.pluginApi('showcase'); // New function - define custom API options api.options({ // Can be either a string (single origin) // or a string array (multiple origins) // "*" means "any origin", as per HTML5 spec allowedMessageOrigins: 'http://nicedomain:8080' }); api.register({ UiInit: function() { // Assuming dialog content sends message via: // parent.postMessage(message, targetOrigin) api.showDialog(...); }, // New event handler function MessageReceived: function(data, sourceWindow) { // Source origin check already passed here window.alert('MessageReceived: ' + data); } }); api.ready(); </snip> Aside from message processing, 'sourceWindow' can be used to establish two-way communication between custom content window and UI plugin code. This patch also includes smaller (general) improvements.
