I'm trying to get a rich text editor for iOS in Swift working. I do however get the following error:
Thread 1: Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value
When running this piece of code:
public var text: String? {
didSet {
guard let text = text else { return }
if editorView.isLoading {
textToLoad = text
} else {
editorView.evaluateJavaScript("richeditor.insertText(\"\(text.htmlEscapeQuotes)\");", completionHandler: nil)
placeholderLabel.isHidden = !text.htmlToPlainText.isEmpty
}
}
}
The error appears at line 04.
This is why I suppose that the editorView doesn't get initialised. It should however be as you can see in the init method:
private var editorView: WKWebView!
public override init(frame: CGRect = .zero) {
placeholderLabel.textColor = UIColor.lightGray.withAlphaComponent(0.65)
guard let bundlePath = Bundle(for: type(of: self)).path(forResource: "Resources", ofType: "bundle"),
let bundle = Bundle(path: bundlePath),
let scriptPath = bundle.path(forResource: "RichTextEditor", ofType: "js"),
let scriptContent = try? String(contentsOfFile: scriptPath, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8),
let htmlPath = bundle.path(forResource: "RichTextEditor", ofType: "html"),
let html = try? String(contentsOfFile: htmlPath, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)
else { fatalError("Unable to find javscript/html for text editor") }
let configuration = WKWebViewConfiguration()
configuration.userContentController.addUserScript(
WKUserScript(source: scriptContent,
injectionTime: .atDocumentEnd,
forMainFrameOnly: true
)
)
editorView = WKWebView(frame: .zero, configuration: configuration)
super.init(frame: frame)
[RichTextEditor.textDidChange, RichTextEditor.heightDidChange].forEach {
configuration.userContentController.add(WeakScriptMessageHandler(delegate: self), name: $0)
}
editorView.navigationDelegate = self
...
editorView.scrollView.delegate = self
addSubview(placeholderLabel)
...
addSubview(editorView)
editorView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([...])
editorView.loadHTMLString(html, baseURL: nil)
}
The class in which this happens has the following signature:
public class RichTextEditor: UIView, WKScriptMessageHandler, WKNavigationDelegate, UIScrollViewDelegate {
Any input on how I can fix this issue is welcome! Thanks.
