| QQuickWebEngineProfile * | defaultProfile() |
A web engine profile contains settings, scripts, persistent cookie policy, and the list of visited links shared by all web engine pages that belong to the profile.
Information about visited links is stored together with persistent cookies and other persistent data in a storage determined by the storageName property. Persistent data is stored in a subdirectory determined by the persistentStoragePath property and the cache in a subdirectory determined by the cachePath property. The httpCacheType property describes the type of the cache: in-memory or on-disk. If only the storageName property is set, the other values are generated automatically based on it. If you specify any of the values manually, you should do it before creating any pages that belong to the profile.
Profiles can be used to isolate pages from each other. A typical use case is a dedicated off-the-record profile for a private browsing mode. An off-the-record profile forces cookies, the HTTP cache, and other normally persistent data to be stored only in memory. The offTheRecord property holds whether a profile is off-the-record.
The default profile can be accessed by defaultProfile(). It is a built-in profile that all web pages not specifically created with another profile belong to.
A WebEngineProfile instance can be created and accessed from C++ through the QQuickWebEngineProfile class, which exposes further functionality in C++. This allows Qt Quick applications to intercept URL requests (QQuickWebEngineProfile::setRequestInterceptor), or register custom URL schemes (QQuickWebEngineProfile::installUrlSchemeHandler).
Spellchecking HTML form fields can be enabled per profile by setting the spellCheckEnabled property and the current languages used for spellchecking can be set by using the spellCheckLanguages property.
This enum describes the HTTP cache type:
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
QQuickWebEngineProfile::MemoryHttpCache |
0 |
Use an in-memory cache. This is the default if off-the-record is set. |
QQuickWebEngineProfile::DiskHttpCache |
1 |
Use a disk cache. This is the default if off-the-record is not set. Falls back to MemoryHttpCache if off-the-record is set. |
QQuickWebEngineProfile::NoCache |
2 |
Disable both in-memory and disk caching. (Added in Qt 5.7) |
This enum describes policy for cookie persistency:
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
QQuickWebEngineProfile::NoPersistentCookies |
0 |
Both session and persistent cookies are stored in memory. This is the only setting possible if off-the-record is set or no persistent data path is available. |
QQuickWebEngineProfile::AllowPersistentCookies |
1 |
Cookies marked persistent are saved to and restored from disk, whereas session cookies are only stored to disk for crash recovery. This is the default setting. |
QQuickWebEngineProfile::ForcePersistentCookies |
2 |
Both session and persistent cookies are saved to and restored from disk. |
The path to the location where the profile's caches are stored, in particular the HTTP cache.
By default, the caches are stored below QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::CacheLocation) in a directory named using storageName.
Access functions:
| QString | cachePath() const |
| void | setCachePath(const QString &path) |
Notifier signal:
| void | cachePathChanged() |
[since QtWebEngine 1.9] downloadPath : QStringThe path to the location where the downloaded files are stored.
Overrides the default path used for download location, setting it to path.
If set to an empty string, the default path is restored.
Note: By default, the download path is QStandardPaths::DownloadLocation.
This property was introduced in QtWebEngine 1.9.
Access functions:
| QString | downloadPath() const |
| void | setDownloadPath(const QString &path) |
Notifier signal:
| void | downloadPathChanged() |
The value of the Accept-Language HTTP request-header field.
Access functions:
| QString | httpAcceptLanguage() const |
| void | setHttpAcceptLanguage(const QString &httpAcceptLanguage) |
Notifier signal:
| void | httpAcceptLanguageChanged() |
The maximum size of the HTTP cache. If 0, the size will be controlled automatically by QtWebEngine. The default value is 0.
Access functions:
| int | httpCacheMaximumSize() const |
| void | setHttpCacheMaximumSize(int maxSize) |
Notifier signal:
| void | httpCacheMaximumSizeChanged() |
See also httpCacheType.
This enumeration describes the type of the HTTP cache.
If the profile is off-the-record or has no storageName set, MemoryHttpCache is returned.
Access functions:
| QQuickWebEngineProfile::HttpCacheType | httpCacheType() const |
| void | setHttpCacheType(QQuickWebEngineProfile::HttpCacheType) |
Notifier signal:
| void | httpCacheTypeChanged() |
The user-agent string sent with HTTP to identify the browser.
Access functions:
| QString | httpUserAgent() const |
| void | setHttpUserAgent(const QString &userAgent) |
Notifier signal:
| void | httpUserAgentChanged() |
Whether the web engine profile is off-the-record. An off-the-record profile forces cookies, the HTTP cache, and other normally persistent data to be stored only in memory. Profile is off-the-record by default.
Access functions:
| bool | isOffTheRecord() const |
| void | setOffTheRecord(bool offTheRecord) |
Notifier signal:
| void | offTheRecordChanged() |
This enumeration describes the policy of cookie persistency. If the profile is off-the-record, NoPersistentCookies is returned.
Access functions:
| QQuickWebEngineProfile::PersistentCookiesPolicy | persistentCookiesPolicy() const |
| void | setPersistentCookiesPolicy(QQuickWebEngineProfile::PersistentCookiesPolicy) |
Notifier signal:
| void | persistentCookiesPolicyChanged() |
The path to the location where the persistent data for the browser and web content are stored. Persistent data includes persistent cookies, HTML5 local storage, and visited links.
By default, the storage is located below QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::AppDataLocation) in a directory named using storageName.
Access functions:
| QString | persistentStoragePath() const |
| void | setPersistentStoragePath(const QString &path) |
Notifier signal:
| void | persistentStoragePathChanged() |
[since QtWebEngine 1.4] spellCheckEnabled : boolThis property holds whether the web engine spell checker is enabled.

| void | setSpellCheckLanguages(const QStringList &languages) |
Notifier signal:
| void | spellCheckLanguagesChanged() |
The storage name that is used to create separate subdirectories for each profile that uses the disk for storing persistent data and cache.
Access functions:
| QString | storageName() const |
| void | setStorageName(const QString &name) |
Notifier signal:
| void | storageNameChanged() |

Constructs a new profile with the parent parent.
[signal] void QQuickWebEngineProfile::downloadFinished(QQuickWebEngineDownloadRequest
*download)This signal is emitted whenever downloading stops, because it finished successfully, was cancelled, or was interrupted (for example, because connectivity was lost). The download argument holds the state of the finished download instance.
[signal] void QQuickWebEngineProfile::downloadRequested(QQuickWebEngineDownloadRequest
*download)This signal is emitted whenever a download has been triggered. The download argument holds the state of the download. The download has to be explicitly accepted with QWebEngineDownloadRequest::accept() or
it will be cancelled by default. The download item is parented by the profile. If it is not accepted, it will be deleted immediately after the signal emission. This signal cannot be used with a queued connection.
[signal] void QQuickWebEngineProfile::presentNotification(QWebEngineNotification *notification)This signal is emitted whenever there is a newly created user notification. The notification argument holds the QWebEngineNotification instance to query data and interact with.
See also WebEngineProfile::presentNotification.
