HighlightRegistry: get() method
Baseline 2025Newly available
Since June 2025, this feature works across the latest devices and browser versions. This feature might not work in older devices or browsers.
The get() method of the HighlightRegistry interface returns the named Highlight object from the registry.
HighlightRegistry is a Map-like object, so this is similar to using Map.get().
Syntax
js
get(name)
Parameters
Return value
The Highlight object associated with the specified name, or undefined if the name can't be found in the HighlightRegistry.
Examples
The following code sample demonstrates how to create a new Highlight, add it to the registry, and retrieve it by its name using the get() method:
js
const fooHighlight = new Highlight();
CSS.highlights.set("foo", fooHighlight);
console.log(CSS.highlights.get("foo")); // Returns the fooHighlight object.
