In this issue of I Script Native, Gokul, a NativeScripting student, asked how to detect and respond to URLs being loaded in a WebView component in NativeScript with Angular.
As it happens, I've also recently been using these techniques myself when I was working on the new NativeScript OAuth2 plugin that needs URL detection when loading a page in a WebView. The NativeScript docs also go into this, but I think it's really helpful to actually see how someone does this in a real app.
So to answer this question, and as the inaugural video answer in the I Script Native series, I've posted up a YouTube video showing exactly how to get this done in a NativeScript with Angular app.
I show more details about the WebView and the HtmlView, and when to use each one of these in my NativeScript Hands-On UI course that's available here.
