Canvas (macOS ilovasi)

macOS ilovasi WKWebView yordamida agent tomonidan boshqariladigan Canvas panelini joylashtiradi. U HTML/CSS/JS, A2UI va kichik interaktiv UI yuzalari uchun yengil vizual ish maydonidir.

​
Canvas qayerda joylashgan

Canvas holati Application Support ostida saqlanadi:
  • ~/Library/Application Support/OpenClaw/canvas/<session>/...
Canvas paneli ushbu fayllarni maxsus URL sxemasi orqali taqdim etadi:
  • openclaw-canvas://<session>/<path>
Misollar:
  • openclaw-canvas://main/ → <canvasRoot>/main/index.html
  • openclaw-canvas://main/assets/app.css → <canvasRoot>/main/assets/app.css
  • openclaw-canvas://main/widgets/todo/ → <canvasRoot>/main/widgets/todo/index.html
Agar ildiz papkada index.html mavjud bo‘lmasa, ilova o‘rnatilgan andoza sahifani ko‘rsatadi.

​
Panel xatti-harakati

  • Chegarasiz, o‘lchami o‘zgartiriladigan panel menyu paneli (yoki sichqoncha kursori) yoniga mahkamlanadi.
  • Har bir sessiya uchun o‘lcham/joylashuvni eslab qoladi.
  • Mahalliy canvas fayllari o‘zgarganda avtomatik qayta yuklanadi.
  • Only one Canvas panel is visible at a time (session is switched as needed).
Canvas can be disabled from Settings → Allow Canvas. When disabled, canvas node commands return CANVAS_DISABLED.

​
Agent API surface

Canvas is exposed via the Gateway WebSocket, so the agent can:
  • show/hide the panel
  • navigate to a path or URL
  • evaluate JavaScript
  • capture a snapshot image
CLI examples: 
openclaw nodes canvas present --node <id>
openclaw nodes canvas navigate --node <id> --url "/"
openclaw nodes canvas eval --node <id> --js "document.title"
openclaw nodes canvas snapshot --node <id>
Notes:
  • canvas.navigate accepts local canvas paths, http(s) URLs, and file:// URLs.
  • If you pass "/", the Canvas shows the local scaffold or index.html.

​
A2UI in Canvas

A2UI is hosted by the Gateway canvas host and rendered inside the Canvas panel. When the Gateway advertises a Canvas host, the macOS app auto‑navigates to the A2UI host page on first open. Default A2UI host URL: 
http://<gateway-host>:18793/__openclaw__/a2ui/

​
A2UI commands (v0.8)

Canvas currently accepts A2UI v0.8 server→client messages:
  • beginRendering
  • surfaceUpdate
  • dataModelUpdate
  • deleteSurface
createSurface (v0.9) is not supported. CLI example: 
cat > /tmp/a2ui-v0.8.jsonl <<'EOFA2'
{"surfaceUpdate":{"surfaceId":"main","components":[{"id":"root","component":{"Column":{"children":{"explicitList":["title","content"]}}}},{"id":"title","component":{"Text":{"text":{"literalString":"Canvas (A2UI v0.8)"},"usageHint":"h1"}}},{"id":"content","component":{"Text":{"text":{"literalString":"If you can read this, A2UI push works."},"usageHint":"body"}}}]}}
{"beginRendering":{"surfaceId":"main","root":"root"}}
EOFA2

openclaw nodes canvas a2ui push --jsonl /tmp/a2ui-v0.8.jsonl --node <id>
Quick smoke: 
openclaw nodes canvas a2ui push --node <id> --text "Hello from A2UI"

​
Triggering agent runs from Canvas

Canvas can trigger new agent runs via deep links:
  • openclaw://agent?...
Example (in JS): 
window.location.href = "openclaw://agent?message=Review%20this%20design";
The app prompts for confirmation unless a valid key is provided.

​
Security notes

  • Canvas scheme blocks directory traversal; files must live under the session root.
  • Local Canvas content uses a custom scheme (no loopback server required).
  • External http(s) URLs are allowed only when explicitly navigated.
