When clicking some navigation link, "decidePolicyForNavigationAction:" will return (WKNavigationAction *)navigationAction to determine URL request and other info, etc.

I want to know the x, y position of the clicking on the WKWebView. I print out "navigationAction.description" below, there seem to be some position info?

How do I get that "position" info? Or better, can navigationAction to have this position property I can retrieve?

<WKNavigationAction: 0x7faef025b870; navigationType = 0; syntheticClickType = 1; position x = 412.00 y = 187.00 request = <NSMutableURLRequest: 0x600001d66070> { URL: $dG2192 }; sourceFrame = <WKFrameInfo: 0x7faef02b4a70; webView = 0x7faef0824c00; isMainFrame = YES; request = <NSMutableURLRequest: 0x600001d0cbf0> { URL: about:blank }>; targetFrame = <WKFrameInfo: 0x7faef02b4a70; webView = 0x7faef0824c00; isMainFrame = YES; request = <NSMutableURLRequest: 0x600001d0cbf0> { URL: about:blank }>>

            let str2 = str.slice(from: "position", to: "request")

                        

            let xCor = str2?.slice(from: "= ", to:" y")

            

            let yCor = str2?.slice(from: "y = ", to: " ")

            

            let xVal = Double(xCor!)

            let yVal = Double(yCor!)

extension String {

    func slice(from: String, to: String) -> String? {

           return (range(of: from)?.upperBound).flatMap { substringFrom in

               (range(of: to, range: substringFrom..<endIndex)?.lowerBound).map { substringTo in

                   String(self[substringFrom..<substringTo])

               }

           }

       }

}

Hi,

I used this code to separate the x and y coordinate from the description string provided. This is a workaround as I could not find anything better for now. Please let me know if anyone has better solution to this problem.
