WindowClient.focused

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 focused read-only property of the WindowClient interface is a Boolean that indicates whether the current client has focus.

Syntax

myFocused = WindowClient.focused;

Value

A Boolean.

Example

self.addEventListener('notificationclick', function(event) {
  console.log('On notification click: ', event.notification.tag);
  event.notification.close();
  // This looks to see if the current is already open and
  // focuses if it is
  event.waitUntil(clients.matchAll({
    type: "window"
  }).then(function(clientList) {
    for (var i = 0; i < clientList.length; i++) {
      var client = clientList[i];
      if (client.url == '/' && 'focus' in client) {
        if(!client.focused)
          return client.focus();
        }
      }
    }
    if (clients.openWindow)
      return clients.openWindow('/');
  }));
});
