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.
