A bookmarklet to view the page source on iOS Safari - without sending your URL to a third party service.

view-source on iOS Safari - without 3rd party services

A bookmarklet to display the current page's HTML in a new tab. Supports HTML syntax highlighting and indentation, JavaScript keywords will be highlighted, too.

Installation

Before adding the bookmarklet, you need to either build view-source.js, or copy view-source.min.js to your clipboard, as we'll paste this into the bookmarklet later.

Safari apparently doesn't support adding a custom bookmarklet, so you'll need to follow these steps:

  1. Go to about:blank
  2. Share button
  3. Add to bookmarks
  4. Call it "View Source" or similar
  5. Go to your bookmarks and edit the previously created bookmark
  6. Paste the code into the URL

Important: You need to paste either the .min.js contents or build it yourself. If the URL isn't prefixed with javascript:, the bookmarklet won't work.
