Swift 3 – Check if WKWebView has loaded page

by

Answer (Big thanks to @paulvs )

To check if your WKWebView has loaded easily implement the following method:

import WebKit
import UIKit


class ViewController: UIViewController, WKNavigationDelegate {


  let webView = WKWebView()


  func webView(_ webView: WKWebView,
    didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!) {
    print("loaded")
  }

  override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    let url = URL(string: "https://www.yourwebsite.com/") !
    let request = URLRequest(url: url)
    webView.navigationDelegate = self
    webView.load(request)


    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
  }

}
  1. Add WKNavigationDelegate to class

  2. Add: 

    func webView(_ webView: WKWebView,didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!) { print("loaded") }

Result: It will print “loaded” in the console everytime the WKWebView has finished loading the page. This was excactly what I was looking for, so again a big thanks to Paulvs!
