Public methods

getDomain(win : Window) => string

Get the full domain of the specified window, as a string.

  • win must be a window on the same domain as the current window, or an exception will be raised
  • This can be overridden / mocked by setting win.mockDomain = 'mock://some-domain.com';. mock:// is required to ensure the window can not spoof actual http:// or https:// domains

getDomainFromUrl(url : string) => string

Get the full domain from the specified url, as a string.

  • it will try to extract the domain from the url string if it starts with well known protocols (http://, https://, file://, and additionally mock:// urls)
  • if url string does not contain a known protocol, it will try to extract the domain calling getDomain using the current window as input

getActualDomain(win : Window) => string

Same as getDomain but overriding / mocking is disabled. it will return the real full domain of the specified window.

isBlankDomain(win : Window) => boolean

Returns if the domain for the specified window is blank, or about:blank

  • win must be a window on the same domain as the current window, or an exception will be raised
  • win may be a window or iframe that has been newly opened by the current window

isSameDomain(win : Window) => boolean

Returns if the specified window is on the same domain as the current window.

  • Does so without raising any errors or console warnings, even in Safari where wrapping the check try/catch still raises a console warning.

getParent(win : Window) => ?Window

Gets the parent of the specified window, if the window has a parent.

  • Only returns the parent of iframes
  • Returns void if the window is the top-level window

getOpener(win : Window) => ?Window

Gets the opener of the specified window, if the window has an opener.

  • Only returns the opener of windows opened with window.open
  • Returns void if the window is the top-level window

getParents(win : Window) => Array<Window>

Gets all of the hierarchical parents of the specified window.

  • Only returns the parents of iframes
  • Returns a blank array if the window is the top-level window

isAncestorParent(ancestor : Window, win : Window) => boolean

Returns true if the ancestor is a direct or non-direct parent of the specified window.

getFrames(win : Window) => Array<Window>

Returns an array of all direct child frames found in a given window.

  • Only returns direct children

getAllChildFrames(win : Window) => Array<Window>

Returns an array of all recursive child frames found in a given window, and in the child-frames of that window.

  • Recursively searches for all direct and indirect children

getTop(win : Window) => Window

Gets the top-level parent of the specified window.

getAllFramesInWindow(win : Window) => Array<Window>

Returns an array of all recursive child frames found in a given window, and in the child-frames of that window, including the specified window.

  • Recursively searches for all direct and indirect children

isTop(win : Window) => boolean

Returns true if the specified window is the top level window, without any parents.

isFrameWindowClosed(frame : HTMLIFrameElement) => boolean

Returns true if the window attached to an iframe element is closed, by checking if the frame is still attached to an open document.

  • Prefer isWindowClosed when possible

isWindowClosed(win : Window) => boolean

Returns true if a window has been closed

  • In IE/Edge, this check is not 100% reliable for frame windows where the frame has been removed from the DOM. Such window objects give no indication that they are closed.

getUserAgent(win : Window) => string

Gets the user agent for the specified window

  • Window must be on the same domain as the current window
  • Uses win.navigator.mockUserAgent if specified, to allow for mocking / tests.

getFrameByName(win : Window, name : string) => ?Window

Gets a frame window with the given name, if it exists as a child of the specified window.

findChildFrameByName(win : Window, name : string) => ?Window

Recursively searches for a given frame window inside the children specified window.

findFrameByName(win : Window, name : string) => ?Window

Recursively searches for a given frame window inside the entire frame hierarchy of the specified window.

  • Searches both the children and the parent windows recursively for the frame.

isParent(parent : Window, child : Window) => boolean

Returns true if the specified parent window is the parent of the specified child window.

isOpener(opener : Window, child : Window) => boolean

Returns true if the specified opener window is the opener of the specified child window.

getAncestor(win : Window) => ?Window

Gets either the parent or the opener of the specified window, if either is present.

getAncestors(win : Window) => Array<Window>

Recursively gets either the parent or the opener of the specified window, if either is present, and returns an array of the entire ancestor hierarchy.

isAncestor(ancestor : Window, child : Window) => boolean

Returns true if the specified ancestor window is the parent or the opener of the specified child window.

isPopup(win : Window) => boolean

Returns true if the specified window has been opened with window.open (i.e. if it is a popup window)

isIframe(win : Window) => boolean

Returns true if the specified window has been opened as an iframe.

getDistanceFromTop(win : Window) => number

Gets the numerical distance from the specified window to the top level window in that window's hierarchy.

  • If the specified window is at the top, this will return 0.

getNthParent(win : Window, n : number) => ?Window

Gets the window n levels up from the specified window, if it exists.

isSameTopWindow(win1 : window, win2 : Window) => boolean

Returns true if the windows are in the same hierarchy, with the same top level window

  • Will return false if one of the windows is a popup and the other window is not a frame inside that popup.

isWindow(obj : Window) => boolean

Returns true if the specified object is a window instance

onCloseWindow(win : Window, callback : Function, interval : number) => { cancel : Function }

Calls the callback when the specified window closes, with checks running on the specified interval.

  • Returns a listener object with a .cancel() method, to stop the loop

matchDomain(pattern : (string | RegExp | Array<string>), domain : string) => boolean

Returns true if the specified domain matches the pattern. The pattern can be one of:

  • A literal string
  • A regular expression
  • An array of possible domains as strings
