ServiceWorkerContainer extension type

The ServiceWorkerContainer interface of the Service Worker API provides an object representing the service worker as an overall unit in the network ecosystem, including facilities to register, unregister and update service workers, and access the state of service workers and their registrations.

Most importantly, it exposes the ServiceWorkerContainer.register method used to register service workers, and the ServiceWorkerContainer.controller property used to determine whether or not the current page is actively controlled.

Service workers can currently only be registered in the Window scope in some or all browsers, because the ServiceWorkerContainer object is not exposed to DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope and SharedWorkerGlobalScope. Check the browser compatibility for information.

Properties

controller → ServiceWorker?
The controller read-only property of the ServiceWorkerContainer interface returns a ServiceWorker object if its state is activating or activated (the same object returned by ServiceWorkerRegistration.active). This property returns null if the request is a force refresh (Shift + refresh) or if there is no active worker.

hashCode → int
The hash code for this object.

ready → JSPromise<ServiceWorkerRegistration>
The ready read-only property of the ServiceWorkerContainer interface provides a way of delaying code execution until a service worker is active. It returns a Promise that will never reject, and which waits indefinitely until the ServiceWorkerRegistration associated with the current page has an ServiceWorkerRegistration.active worker. Once that condition is met, it resolves with the ServiceWorkerRegistration.

runtimeType → Type
A representation of the runtime type of the object.

The result of this + any in JavaScript.
addEventListener(String type, EventListener? callback, [JSAny options]) → void
The addEventListener() method of the EventTarget interface sets up a function that will be called whenever the specified event is delivered to the target.

and(JSAny? any) → JSAny?

Available on JSAny?, provided by the JSAnyOperatorExtension extension

The result of this && any in JavaScript.
callMethod<R extends JSAny?>(JSAny method, [JSAny? arg1, JSAny? arg2, JSAny? arg3, JSAny? arg4]) → R

Available on JSAny?, provided by the JSAnyUtilityExtension extension

Converts a JavaScript JSON-like value to the Dart equivalent if possible.
delete(JSAny property) → JSBoolean

Available on JSObject, provided by the JSObjectUnsafeUtilExtension extension

Deletes the property with key property from this JSObject.
dispatchEvent(Event event) → bool
The dispatchEvent() method of the EventTarget sends an Event to the object, (synchronously) invoking the affected event listeners in the appropriate order. The normal event processing rules (including the capturing and optional bubbling phase) also apply to events dispatched manually with dispatchEvent().
inherited
divide(JSAny? any) → JSAny

Available on JSAny?, provided by the JSAnyOperatorExtension extension

The result of this / any in JavaScript.
equals(JSAny? any) → JSBoolean

Available on JSAny?, provided by the JSAnyOperatorExtension extension

The result of this == any in JavaScript.
exponentiate(JSAny? any) → JSAny

Available on JSAny?, provided by the JSAnyOperatorExtension extension

The result of this ** any in JavaScript.
getProperty<R extends JSAny?>(JSAny property) → R

Available on JSObject, provided by the JSObjectUnsafeUtilExtension extension

The value of the property key property of this JSObject.
getRegistration([String clientURL]) → JSPromise<ServiceWorkerRegistration?>
The getRegistration() method of the ServiceWorkerContainer interface gets a ServiceWorkerRegistration object whose scope URL matches the provided client URL. The method returns a Promise that resolves to a ServiceWorkerRegistration or undefined.
getRegistrations() → JSPromise<JSArray<ServiceWorkerRegistration>>
The getRegistrations() method of the ServiceWorkerContainer interface gets all ServiceWorkerRegistrations associated with a ServiceWorkerContainer, in an array. The method returns a Promise that resolves to an array of ServiceWorkerRegistration.
greaterThan(JSAny? any) → JSBoolean

Available on JSAny?, provided by the JSAnyOperatorExtension extension

The result of this > any in JavaScript.
greaterThanOrEqualTo(JSAny? any) → JSBoolean

Available on JSAny?, provided by the JSAnyOperatorExtension extension

The result of this >= any in JavaScript.
has(String property) → bool

Available on JSObject, provided by the JSObjectUnsafeUtilExtension extension

Shorthand helper for hasProperty to check whether this JSObject contains the property key property, but takes and returns a Dart value.

removeEventListener(String type, EventListener? callback, [JSAny options]) → void
The removeEventListener() method of the EventTarget interface removes an event listener previously registered with EventTarget.addEventListener from the target. The event listener to be removed is identified using a combination of the event type, the event listener function itself, and various optional options that may affect the matching process; see Matching event listeners for removal.
