How to pass data from ifram to parent-CodePudding

i am creating a vue js application that is hosted in my subdomain

and i want load a form from my main site using iframe.simple i want to load a form from my primary domain to my subdomain through i frame.And is working perfectly

<iframe ref="formFrame" @load="afterLoad()" :src="url"></iframe>

And now i have a function in my vue js app like

displaySuccess(data){
            console.log("data from server: " data);
        }

And this function should be triggered from my form. so i addedd a code like below in the form

window.parent.displaySuccess(text);

But it is not triggering.How can i call parent methods from iframe form.Thanks in advance

CodePudding user response：

You can use the window.postMessage() method safely (enables cross-origin communication between Window objects; e.g., between a page and a pop-up that it spawned, or between a page and an iframe embedded within it like in your example).

This is a basic example for a duplex communication between a parent and an Iframe.

Parent -> IFrame

   iframe.contentWindow.postMessage('hello world', '*'); // from parent

window.onmessage = function(e) { // inside the iframe
    if (e.data == 'hello world') {
        alert('It works!');
    }
};

IFrame -> Parent

window.onmessage = function(e) { // inside the parent
    if (e.data == 'hello world') {
        alert('It works!');
    }
};

window.top.postMessage('hello world', '*') //inside the iframe
