# Invoking Application Functions on the Frontend Page


You can use the **Web** component to register application code with frontend pages. After the registration is done, frontend pages can use the registered object names to call application functions.


Two methods are available for registering the application code:<br>Call [javaScriptProxy()](../reference/apis-arkweb/ts-basic-components-web.md#javascriptproxy) during **Web** component initialization. Call [registerJavaScriptProxy()](../reference/apis-arkweb/js-apis-webview.md#registerjavascriptproxy) after **Web** component initialization.


The following example registers the **test()** function with the frontend page. This way, the **test()** function can be triggered and run on the frontend page.


- Sample code for using [javaScriptProxy()](../reference/apis-arkweb/ts-basic-components-web.md#javascriptproxy):

  ```ts
  // xxx.ets
  import { webview } from '@kit.ArkWeb';

  class testClass {
    constructor() {
    }

    test(): string {
      return 'ArkTS Hello World!';
    }
  }

  @Entry
  @Component
  struct WebComponent {
    webviewController: webview.WebviewController = new webview.WebviewController();
    // Declare the object to be registered.
    @State testObj: testClass = new testClass();

    build() {
      Column() {
        // Load the local index.html page.
        Web({ src: $rawfile('index.html'), controller: this.webviewController})
          // Inject the object to the web client.
          .javaScriptProxy({
            object: this.testObj,
            name: "testObjName",
            methodList: ["test"],
            controller: this.webviewController,
            // Optional parameter.
            asyncMethodList: [],
            permission: '{"javascriptProxyPermission":{"urlPermissionList":[{"scheme":"resource","host":"rawfile","port":"","path":""},' +
                        '{"scheme":"e","host":"f","port":"g","path":"h"}],"methodList":[{"methodName":"test","urlPermissionList":' +
                        '[{"scheme":"https","host":"xxx.com","port":"","path":""},{"scheme":"resource","host":"rawfile","port":"","path":""}]},' +
                        '{"methodName":"test11","urlPermissionList":[{"scheme":"q","host":"r","port":"","path":"t"},' +
                        '{"scheme":"u","host":"v","port":"","path":""}]}]}}'
          })
      }
    }
  }
  ```


- Sample code for using [registerJavaScriptProxy()](../reference/apis-arkweb/js-apis-webview.md#registerjavascriptproxy):

  ```ts
  // xxx.ets
  import { webview } from '@kit.ArkWeb';
  import { BusinessError } from '@kit.BasicServicesKit';

  class testClass {
    constructor() {
    }

    test(): string {
      return "ArkUI Web Component";
    }

    toString(): void {
      console.log('Web Component toString');
    }
  }

  @Entry
  @Component
  struct Index {
    webviewController: webview.WebviewController = new webview.WebviewController();
    @State testObj: testClass = new testClass();

    build() {
      Column() {
        Button('refresh')
          .onClick(() => {
            try {
              this.webviewController.refresh();
            } catch (error) {
              console.error(`ErrorCode: ${(error as BusinessError).code},  Message: ${(error as BusinessError).message}`);
            }
          })
        Button('Register JavaScript To Window')
          .onClick(() => {
            try {
              this.webviewController.registerJavaScriptProxy(this.testObj, "testObjName", ["test", "toString"],
                      // Optional parameter: asyncMethodList
                      [],
                      // Optional parameter: permission
                      '{"javascriptProxyPermission":{"urlPermissionList":[{"scheme":"resource","host":"rawfile","port":"","path":""},' +
                      '{"scheme":"e","host":"f","port":"g","path":"h"}],"methodList":[{"methodName":"test","urlPermissionList":' +
                      '[{"scheme":"https","host":"xxx.com","port":"","path":""},{"scheme":"resource","host":"rawfile","port":"","path":""}]},' +
                      '{"methodName":"test11","urlPermissionList":[{"scheme":"q","host":"r","port":"","path":"t"},' +
                      '{"scheme":"u","host":"v","port":"","path":""}]}]}}'
              );
            } catch (error) {
              console.error(`ErrorCode: ${(error as BusinessError).code},  Message: ${(error as BusinessError).message}`);
            }
          })
        Web({ src: $rawfile('index.html'), controller: this.webviewController })
      }
    }
  }
  ```

  > **NOTE**
  >
  > - If you use [registerJavaScriptProxy()](../reference/apis-arkweb/js-apis-webview.md#registerjavascriptproxy) to register a function, call [refresh()](../reference/apis-arkweb/js-apis-webview.md#refresh) for the function to take effect.

- The optional parameter permission is a JSON string. The following is an example:
  ```json
  {
    "javascriptProxyPermission": {
      "urlPermissionList": [       // Object-level permission. If it is granted, all methods are available.
        {
          "scheme": "resource",    // Exact match. The value cannot be empty.
          "host": "rawfile",       // Exact match. The value cannot be empty.
          "port": "",              // Exact match. If the value is empty, it is not checked.
          "path": ""               // Prefix match. If the value is empty, it is not checked.
        },
        {

          "path": "a/b/c"          // Prefix match. If the value is empty, it is not checked.
        }
      ],
      "methodList": [
        {
          "methodName": "test",

          ]
        },
        {
          "methodName": "test11",
          "urlPermissionList": [   // Method-level permission.
            {
              "scheme": "q",       // Exact match. The value cannot be empty.

            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  }
  ```

- Sample code for invoking application functions on the **index.html** frontend page:

  ```html
  <!-- index.html -->
  <!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
  <body>
  <button type="button" onclick="callArkTS()">Click Me!</button>
  <p id="demo"></p>
  <script>
      function callArkTS() {
          let str = testObjName.test();
          document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = str;
          console.info('ArkTS Hello World! :' + str);
      }
  </script>
  </body>
  </html>
  ```
## Usage of Complex Types
- Sample code for passing arrays between the application side and the frontend page:
  ```ts
  // xxx.ets
  import { webview } from '@kit.ArkWeb';
  import { BusinessError } from '@kit.BasicServicesKit';

  class testClass {
    constructor() {
    }

    test(): Array<Number> {
      return [1, 2, 3, 4]
    }

    toString(param: String): void {
      console.log('Web Component toString' + param);
    }
  }

  @Entry
  @Component
  struct Index {
    webviewController: webview.WebviewController = new webview.WebviewController();
    @State testObj: testClass = new testClass();

    build() {
      Column() {
        Button('refresh')
          .onClick(() => {
            try {
              this.webviewController.refresh();
            } catch (error) {
              console.error(`ErrorCode: ${(error as BusinessError).code},  Message: ${(error as BusinessError).message}`);
            }
          })
        Button('Register JavaScript To Window')
          .onClick(() => {
            try {
              this.webviewController.registerJavaScriptProxy(this.testObj, "testObjName", ["test", "toString"]);
            } catch (error) {
              console.error(`ErrorCode: ${(error as BusinessError).code},  Message: ${(error as BusinessError).message}`);
            }
          })
        Web({ src: $rawfile('index.html'), controller: this.webviewController })
      }
    }
  }
  ```

  ```html
  <!-- index.html -->
  <!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
  <body>
  <button type="button" onclick="callArkTS()">Click Me!</button>
  <p id="demo"></p>
  <script>
      function callArkTS() {
          testObjName.toString(testObjName.test());
      }
  </script>
  </body>
  </html>
  ```
- Sample code for passing data of primitive types (not of Function or any other complex type) between the application side and the frontend page:
  ```ts

  import { BusinessError } from '@kit.BasicServicesKit';

  class student {
    name: string = '';
    age: string = '';
  }

  class testClass {
    constructor() {
    }

    // Data of primitive types to pass: name:"jeck", age:"12"
    test(): student {
      let st: student = { name: "jeck", age: "12" };
      return st;
    }

    toString(param: ESObject): void {
      console.log('Web Component toString' + param["name"]);
    }
  }

  @Entry
  @Component
  struct Index {
    webviewController: webview.WebviewController = new webview.WebviewController();
    @State testObj: testClass = new testClass();

    build() {
      Column() {
        Button('refresh')
          .onClick(() => {
            try {
              this.webviewController.refresh();
            } catch (error) {
              console.error(`ErrorCode: ${(error as BusinessError).code},  Message: ${(error as BusinessError).message}`);
            }
          })
        Button('Register JavaScript To Window')
          .onClick(() => {
            try {
              this.webviewController.registerJavaScriptProxy(this.testObj, "testObjName", ["test", "toString"]);
            } catch (error) {
              console.error(`ErrorCode: ${(error as BusinessError).code},  Message: ${(error as BusinessError).message}`);
            }
          })
        Web({ src: $rawfile('index.html'), controller: this.webviewController })
      }
    }
  }
  ```

      param("call callback");
    }

    toString(param: String): void {
      console.log('Web Component toString' + param);
    }
  }

- Examples of using a promise:<br>
  With the first method, a promise is created on the application side.

        setTimeout(() => {
          console.log ('Execution completed');
          reject('fail');
        }, 10000);
      });
      return p;
    }

    toString(param: String): void {
      console.log(" " + param);
    }
  }

  @Entry
  @Component
  struct Index {
    webviewController: webview.WebviewController = new webview.WebviewController();
