ServiceWorkerGlobalScope.onsync

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 ServiceWorkerGlobalScope.onsync event of the ServiceWorkerGlobalScope interface is fired whenever a SyncEvent event occurs. This is triggered when a call to SyncManager.register is made from a service worker client page. The attempt to sync is made either immediately if the network is available or as soon as the network becomes available. 

Syntax

ServiceWorkerGlobalScope.onsync = function(SyncEvent) { ... }
self.addEventListener('sync', function(SyncEvent) { ... })
