Fullscreen Plugin for NativePHP Mobile#

Enter and exit fullscreen (immersive) mode.

Installation#

Copied!
composer require kevinbatdorf/nativephp-fullscreen

Usage#

Copied!
use KevinBatdorf\Fullscreen\Facades\Fullscreen;
 
// Enter fullscreen (hide status bar + navigation bar)
Fullscreen::enter();
 
// Exit fullscreen (show system bars)
Fullscreen::exit();
 
// Check if fullscreen mode is active
$active = Fullscreen::isActive();

JavaScript#

Copied!
import { Fullscreen } from '@kevinbatdorf/nativephp-fullscreen';
 
await Fullscreen.enter();
await Fullscreen.exit();
const active = await Fullscreen.isActive();

Platform Behavior#

  • Android: Uses WindowInsetsControllerCompat with BEHAVIOR_SHOW_TRANSIENT_BARS_BY_SWIPE. System bars reappear briefly on edge swipe, then auto-hide. Fullscreen persists across page navigations natively.
  • iOS: Swizzles the root UIViewController to hide the status bar and home indicator. Negates safe area insets so content extends into the notch/dynamic island. Injects CSS to zero out NativePHP's safe area variables (--inset-*, --sat/sar/sab/sal) and removes body.nativephp-safe-area padding. A WKUserScript at document start reads a sessionStorage flag to apply fullscreen CSS before the page renders, preventing flash-of-insets on navigation. A KVO observer on WKWebView.isLoading re-injects CSS after each page load. Orientation changes are handled automatically.
