ServiceWorkerRegistration.active

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 active property of the ServiceWorkerRegistration interface returns a service worker whose ServiceWorker.state is activating or activated. This property is initially set to null.

An active worker controls a ServiceWorkerClient if the client's URL falls within the scope of the registration (the scope option set when ServiceWorkerContainer.register is first called.)

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

Syntax

sw = ServiceWorker.active 

Value

A ServiceWorker object, if it is currently in an activating or activated state.
