Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on the next set of proposals for the JavaScript language. You can find a description of the proposals here.

The result read-only property of the SVGFECompositeElement interface describes the assigned name of an SVG filter primitive as a SVGAnimatedString.

It reflects the <feComposite> element's result attribute. The <feComposite> SVG filter primitive combines two input images using a Porter-Duff compositing operation. The attribute value is a <custom-ident>. If supplied, then graphics that result from processing this filter primitive can be referenced by an in attribute on a subsequent filter primitive within the same <filter> element.

If no result attribute is defined, the filter's result.baseVal and result.animVal are empty strings, and the output of the <feComposite> filter will only be available for re-use as the implicit input into the next filter primitive if that filter primitive provides no value for its in attribute.

Value

An SVGAnimatedString.

Example

js
const feCompositeElement = document.querySelector("feComposite");
const filterName = feCompositeElement.result;
console.log(filterName.baseVal); // the filter's assigned name
