iOS provides the SafariServices framework, which allows developers to integrate Safari’s features into their apps. One useful feature is the ability to manage browsing history within the app using SFSafariViewController.

What is SFSafariViewController?

SFSafariViewController is a view controller that provides a full-featured web browsing experience. It includes features such as toolbar customization, reader mode, and the ability to add, remove, and manage browsing history.

Implementing WebSite History Management with SFSafariViewController

To enable web browsing history management in your app using SFSafariViewController, follow these steps:

Step 1: Initialize SFSafariViewController

import SafariServices

let url = URL(string: "https://www.example.com")!
let safariViewController = SFSafariViewController(url: url)

Step 2: Customize the Toolbar

safariViewController.preferredControlTintColor = UIColor.systemBlue

Step 3: Manage Browsing History

You can use SFSafariViewController’s SFSafariViewControllerDelegate methods to manage browsing history. For example, to enable the “Back” and “Forward” buttons:

extension YourViewController: SFSafariViewControllerDelegate {
    func safariViewController(_ controller: SFSafariViewController, didCompleteInitialLoad didLoadSuccessfully: Bool) {
        controller.dismissButtonStyle = .done
    }
}

Step 4: Present the SFSafariViewController

To display the SFSafariViewController in your app, present it as a modal view controller.

present(safariViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)

Benefits of WebSite History Management

Integrating website history management using SFSafariViewController can enhance the user experience by providing seamless web browsing within the app. It also allows users to access their browsing history and revisit previously viewed websites easily.

By leveraging the SafariServices framework, developers can streamline the browsing experience and empower users to navigate websites efficiently.
