Load Remote Content in Main Window

[DustyArmstrong]

Hi there,

I was curious to try out Tauri as a more lightweight replacement for Electron, and I've enjoyed it a lot so far, thanks.

I am interested to clarify the extent to which Tauri can load remote content. I have come across some answers, but they seem to refer to this occurring specifically on initialization (unless I'm wrong):

tauri::AppBuilder::new()
        .invoke_handler(|webview, arg| {
            ...
        })
        .setup(|webview, _| webview.eval("window.location.replace('https://google.com')"))
        .build()
        .run();

I actually want to replace the window location with a URL configured by a user during an initial setup - is this possible? The answer may be out there but I've not found anything that's worked for me. Essentially I am presenting an index.html to the user, they supply their URL, and the main window then loads/displays that page e.g.

fn load_url (url: String) {
  println!("Loading instance: {}", url);
  window.eval(&format!("window.location.replace('{}')", url));
}

I see you can access the window in commands but not entirely sure how to approach it as I'm not having any success.

I mean, the window.location.replace thing is literally plain javascript so you can call this in your index.html file as well.

@FabianLars Thanks, that worked, I'm just a bit slow.
