html5.h

The C++ APIs in html5.h define the Emscripten low-level glue bindings to interact with HTML5 events from native code.

Tip

The C++ APIs map closely to their equivalent HTML5 JavaScript APIs. The HTML5 specifications listed below provide additional detailed reference “over and above” the information provided in this document.

In addition, the Test/Example code can be reviewed to see how the code is used.

The HTML5 specifications for APIs that are mapped by html5.h include:

How to use this API

Most of these APIs use an event-based architecture; functionality is accessed by registering a callback function that will be called when the event occurs.

Note

The Gamepad API is currently an exception, as only a polling API is available. For some APIs, both an event-based and a polling-based model are exposed.

Registration functions

The typical format of registration functions is as follows (some methods may omit various parameters):

EMSCRIPTEN_RESULT emscripten_set_some_callback(
        const char *target,     // ID of the target HTML element.
        void *userData,         // User-defined data to be passed to the callback.
        EM_BOOL useCapture,     // Whether or not to use capture.
        em_someevent_callback_func callback     // Callback function.
);

The target parameter is the ID of the HTML element to which the callback registration is to be applied. This field has the following special meanings:

  • 0 or NULL: A default element is chosen automatically based on the event type, which should be reasonable most of the time.
  • #window: The event listener is applied to the JavaScript window object.
  • #document: The event listener is applied to the JavaScript document object.
  • #screen: The event listener is applied to the JavaScript window.screen object.
  • #canvas: The event listener is applied to the Emscripten default WebGL canvas element.
  • Any other string without a leading hash “#” sign: The event listener is applied to the element on the page with the given ID.

The userData parameter is a user-defined value that is passed (unchanged) to the registered event callback. This can be used to, for example, pass a pointer to a C++ class or similarly to enclose the C API in a clean object-oriented manner.

The useCapture parameter maps to useCapture in EventTarget.addEventListener. It indicates whether or not to initiate capture: if true the callback will be invoked only for the DOM capture and target phases; if false the callback will be triggered during the target and bubbling phases. See DOM Level 3 Events for a more detailed explanation.

Most functions return the result using the type EMSCRIPTEN_RESULT. Non-zero and positive values denote success. Negative values signal failure. None of the functions fail or abort by throwing a JavaScript or C++ exception. If a particular browser does not support the given feature, the value EMSCRIPTEN_RESULT_NOT_SUPPORTED will be returned at the time the callback is registered.

Callback functions

When the event occurs the callback is invoked with the relevant event “type” (for example EMSCRIPTEN_EVENT_CLICK), a struct containing the details of the event that occurred, and the userData that was originally passed to the registration function. The general format of the callback function is:

typedef EM_BOOL (*em_someevent_callback_func) // Callback function. Return true if event is "consumed".
        (
        int eventType, // The type of event.
        const EmscriptenSomeEvent *keyEvent, // Information about the event.
        void *userData // User data passed from the registration function.
        );

Callback handlers that return an EM_BOOL may specify true to signal that the handler consumed the event (this suppresses the default action for that event by calling its .preventDefault(); member). Returning false indicates that the event was not consumed — the default browser event action is carried out and the event is allowed to pass on/bubble up as normal.

Calling a registration function with a null pointer for the callback causes a de-registration of that callback from the given target element. All event handlers are also automatically unregistered when the C exit() function is invoked during the atexit handler pass. Either use the function emscripten_set_main_loop() or set Module.noExitRuntime = true; to make sure that leaving main() will not immediately cause an exit() and clean up the event handlers.

Functions affected by web security

Some functions, including emscripten_request_pointerlock() and emscripten_request_fullscreen(), are affected by web security.

While the functions can be called anywhere, the actual “requests” can only be raised inside the handler for a user-generated event (for example a key, mouse or touch press/release).

When porting code, it may be difficult to ensure that the functions are called inside appropriate event handlers (so that the requests are raised immediately). As a convenience, developers can set deferUntilInEventHandler=true to automatically defer insecure requests until the user next presses a keyboard or mouse button. This simplifies porting, but often results in a poorer user experience. For example, the user must click once on the canvas to hide the pointer or transition to full screen.

Where possible, the functions should only be called inside appropriate event handlers. Setting deferUntilInEventHandler=false causes the functions to abort with an error if the request is refused due to a security restriction: this is a useful mechanism for discovering instances where the functions are called outside the handler for a user-generated event.

Test/Example code

The HTML5 test code demonstrates how to use this API:

General types

EM_BOOL

This is the Emscripten type for a bool.

EM_UTF8

This is the Emscripten type for a UTF8 string (maps to a char). This is used for node names, element ids, etc.

Function result values

Most functions in this API return a result of type EMSCRIPTEN_RESULT. None of the functions fail or abort by throwing a JavaScript or C++ exception. If a particular browser does not support the given feature, the value EMSCRIPTEN_RESULT_NOT_SUPPORTED will be returned at the time the callback is registered.

EMSCRIPTEN_RESULT

This type is used to return the result of most functions in this API. Positive values denote success, while zero and negative values signal failure. Possible values are listed below.

EMSCRIPTEN_RESULT_SUCCESS

The operation succeeded.

EMSCRIPTEN_RESULT_DEFERRED

The requested operation cannot be completed now for web security reasons, and has been deferred for completion in the next event handler.

EMSCRIPTEN_RESULT_NOT_SUPPORTED

The given operation is not supported by this browser or the target element. This value will be returned at the time the callback is registered if the operation is not supported.

EMSCRIPTEN_RESULT_FAILED_NOT_DEFERRED

The requested operation could not be completed now for web security reasons. It failed because the user requested the operation not be deferred.

EMSCRIPTEN_RESULT_INVALID_TARGET

The operation failed because the specified target element is invalid.

EMSCRIPTEN_RESULT_UNKNOWN_TARGET

The operation failed because the specified target element was not found.

EMSCRIPTEN_RESULT_INVALID_PARAM

The operation failed because an invalid parameter was passed to the function.

EMSCRIPTEN_RESULT_FAILED

Generic failure result message, returned if no specific result is available.

EMSCRIPTEN_RESULT_NO_DATA

The operation failed because no data is currently available.

Keys

Defines

EMSCRIPTEN_EVENT_KEYPRESS

DOM_KEY_LOCATION_RIGHT
DOM_KEY_LOCATION_NUMPAD

Locations of the key on the keyboard.

Struct

EmscriptenKeyboardEvent

The event structure passed in keyboard events: keypress, keydown and keyup.

Note that since the DOM Level 3 Events spec is very recent at the time of writing (2014-03), uniform support for the different fields in the spec is still in flux. Be sure to check the results in multiple browsers. See the unmerged pull request #2222 for an example of how to interpret the legacy key events.

EM_UTF8 key

The printed representation of the pressed key.

Maximum size 32 char (i.e. EM_UTF8 key[32]).

EM_UTF8 code

A string that identifies the physical key being pressed. The value is not affected by the current keyboard layout or modifier state, so a particular key will always return the same value.

Maximum size 32 char (i.e. EM_UTF8 code[32]).

unsigned long location

Indicates the location of the key on the keyboard. One of the DOM_KEY_LOCATION values.

EM_BOOL ctrlKey
EM_BOOL shiftKey
EM_BOOL altKey
EM_BOOL metaKey

Specifies which modifiers were active during the key event.

EM_BOOL repeat

Specifies if this keyboard event represents a repeated press.

EM_UTF8 locale

A locale string indicating the configured keyboard locale. This may be an empty string if the browser or device doesn’t know the keyboard’s locale.

Maximum size 32 char (i.e. EM_UTF8 locale[32]).

EM_UTF8 charValue

The following fields are values from previous versions of the DOM key events specifications. See the character representation of the key. This is the field char from the docs, but renamed to charValue to avoid a C reserved word.

Maximum size 32 char (i.e. EM_UTF8 charValue[32]).

Warning

This attribute has been dropped from DOM Level 3 events.

unsigned long charCode

The Unicode reference number of the key; this attribute is used only by the keypress event. For keys whose char attribute contains multiple characters, this is the Unicode value of the first character in that attribute.

Warning

This attribute is deprecated, you should use the field key instead, if available.

unsigned long keyCode

A system and implementation dependent numerical code identifying the unmodified value of the pressed key.

Warning

This attribute is deprecated, you should use the field key instead, if available.

unsigned long which

A system and implementation dependent numeric code identifying the unmodified value of the pressed key; this is usually the same as keyCode.

Warning

This attribute is deprecated, you should use the field key instead, if available.
