Question: postMessage API - App -> inAppBrowser Window

[meck93]

Hi everyone! I'm asking the question here since the link to sign up to Cordova Slack doesn't seem to work: http://slack.cordova.io and I couldn't find another way to sign up to the Slack channel.

Context The postMessage API has been implemented (https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser/pull/362) and is documented here: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser

What have I tried to do? So far I was only able to find documentation for the direction from inside the inAppBrowser window to the context running the inAppBrowser - most of the case the native/cordova app (i.e. inside -> outside). Is it also possible to send a message from the outside to the inside. Basically, in the same direction that executeScript() and injectCSS()work.

What would I like to achieve? Currently, I'm launch the inAppBrowser, navigate to a specific URL which is also under my control on which I have registered an event handler window.addEventListener("message",...). Now, I would like to post a message from the app code to the inAppBrowser instance (i.e. the browser window that is on this specific url) once a event happens on the native device. Is this possible?

Yah, I'm trying to track down who manages the app... in the mean time, this link should work for slack https://join.slack.com/t/cordova/shared_invite/zt-z70vy6tx-7VNulesO0Qz0Od9QV4tc1Q

Unfortunately I don't have the experience to comment more on your particular issue, but someone in Slack might be able to.

@meck93 Did you get any solution for this problem?

@mdivya-symplr no, unfortunately not, no one was able to answer my question. It seems the feature is not implemented.
