PushEvent

This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.

The PushEvent interface of the Push API represents a push message that has been received. This event is sent to the global scope of a ServiceWorker. It contains the information sent from an application server to a PushSubscription.

Constructor

PushEvent.PushEvent()
Creates a new PushEvent object.

Properties

Inherits properties from its parent, ExtendableEvent. Additional properties:

PushEvent.data Read only
Returns a reference to a PushMessageData object containing data sent to the PushSubscription.

Methods

Examples

The following example takes data from a PushEvent and displays it on all of the service worker's clients.

self.addEventListener('push', function(event) {
  if (!(self.Notification && self.Notification.permission === 'granted')) {
    return;
  }
  var data = {};
  if (event.data) {
    data = event.data.json();
  }
  var title = data.title || "Something Has Happened";
  var message = data.message || "Here's something you might want to check out.";
  var icon = "images/new-notification.png";
  var notification = new self.Notification(title, {
    body: message,
    tag: 'simple-push-demo-notification',
    icon: icon
  });
  notification.addEventListener('click', function() {
    if (clients.openWindow) {
      clients.openWindow('https://example.blog.com/2015/03/04/something-new.html');
    }
  });
});
