Description

WebKitWebsiteDataManager allows you to manage the data that websites can store in the client file system like databases or caches. You can use WebKitWebsiteDataManager to configure the local directories where the Website data will be stored, by creating a new manager with webkit_website_data_manager_new() passing the values you want to set. You can set all the possible configuration values or only some of them, a default value will be used automatically for the configuration options not provided. “base-data-directory” and “base-cache-directory” are two special properties that can be used to set a common base directory for all Website data and caches. It's possible to provide both, a base directory and a specific value, but in that case, the specific value takes precedence over the base directory. The newly created WebKitWebsiteDataManager must be passed as a construct property to a WebKitWebContext, you can use webkit_web_context_new_with_website_data_manager() to create a new WebKitWebContext with a WebKitWebsiteDataManager. In case you don't want to set any specific configuration, you don't need to create a WebKitWebsiteDataManager, the WebKitWebContext will create a WebKitWebsiteDataManager with the default configuration. To get the WebKitWebsiteDataManager of a WebKitWebContext you can use webkit_web_context_get_website_data_manager().

A WebKitWebsiteDataManager can also be ephemeral and then all the directories configuration is not needed because website data will never persist. You can create an ephemeral WebKitWebsiteDataManager with webkit_website_data_manager_new_ephemeral(). Then you can pass an ephemeral WebKitWebsiteDataManager to a WebKitWebContext to make it ephemeral or use webkit_web_context_new_ephemeral() and the WebKitWebsiteDataManager will be automatically created by the WebKitWebContext.

WebKitWebsiteDataManager can also be used to fetch websites data, remove data stored by particular websites, or clear data for all websites modified since a given period of time.
