Live demo

IFramePolicy-bounded sandboxed iframe with SafeUrl source.

The preview is a local docs simulation (not a running Hedron server). Interactive demos show a “Simulated HTMX” trace when applicable.

Basic use

from hedron import IFrame
component = IFrame('/embed', title='Embed')

Compose under Page for full documents, or return from a fragment route for HTMX swaps.

How it works

Phase 0.15 surface. Prefer native HTML semantics and ordinary HTTP actions.

This component's core behavior is server-rendered HTML and does not require a browser runtime. The preview is ordinary semantic HTML, so keyboard, form, link, and disclosure behavior comes from the platform.

Constructor and parameters

IFrame(src: 'SafeUrl | str', *, title: 'str', sandbox: 'str' = '', allow: 'str | None' = None, referrerpolicy: 'str' = 'no-referrer', width: 'str | int | None' = None, height: 'str | int | None' = None, allow_remote: 'bool' = False, class_: 'str | None' = None, mark: 'str | None' = None, **kwargs: 'object') -> 'None'
Parameter Type Meaning
src SafeUrl | str Media or document URL (SafeUrl preferred for untrusted input).
title str Accessible title (document, iframe, dialog, or media).
sandbox str IFrame sandbox token string (empty = fully sandboxed). Default: ''.
allow str | None Optional iframe allow feature policy string. Default: None.
referrerpolicy str IFrame referrer policy. Default: 'no-referrer'.
width str | int | None Optional width hint (CSS length or pixels). Default: None.
height str | int | None Optional height hint (CSS length or pixels). Default: None.
allow_remote bool Allow remote iframe sources when True. Default: False.
class_ str | None Optional CSS class string (class in HTML). Default: None.
mark str | None Optional stable test mark (data-hedron-mark). Default: None.

Composition and backend behavior

Keep IFrame at the smallest semantic boundary. Fragment routes should return only the replaced region and preserve stable target IDs across success, validation, empty, loading, and error responses.

IFrame is primarily presentational; keep any mutation on an explicit action or component route.

Accessibility

Keyboard and screen-reader operable; no-JS fallback required where interactive.

Security

Escaping and SafeUrl / TrustedHtml are framework concerns; authorization and data exposure remain application code. Redact secrets before rendering.

Common mistakes

  • Do not treat client-only hints (geolocation, browser storage) as authorization.
  • Do not copy docs-preview JavaScript into an application server.

Testing

from hedron import RenderMode, render

result = render(component, mode=RenderMode.FRAGMENT)
assert result.html
assert not result.diagnostics
