Class

WebKit2FaviconDatabase

Description [src]

class WebKit2.FaviconDatabase : GObject.Object
{
  WebKitFaviconDatabasePrivate* priv
}

Provides access to the icons associated with web sites.

WebKit will automatically look for available icons in <link> elements on opened pages as well as an existing favicon.ico and load the images found into a memory cache if possible. That cache is frozen to an on-disk database for persistence.

If WebKitWebsiteDataManager:is-ephemeral is TRUE, new icons won’t be added to the on-disk database and no existing icons will be deleted from it. Nevertheless, WebKit will still store them in the in-memory cache during the current execution.

Signals

WebKit2.FaviconDatabase::favicon-changed

This signal is emitted when the favicon URI of page_uri has been changed to favicon_uri in the database. You can connect to this signal and call webkit_favicon_database_get_favicon() to get the favicon. If you are interested in the favicon of a WebKitWebView it’s easier to use the WebKitWebView:favicon property. See webkit_web_view_get_favicon() for more details.
