ServiceWorkerContainer

ServiceWorkerContainer.controller (en-US) Schreibgeschützt

Returns a ServiceWorker object if its state is activated (the same object returned by ServiceWorkerRegistration.active (en-US)). This property returns null if the request is a force refresh (Shift + refresh) or if there is no active worker.

ServiceWorkerContainer.ready (en-US) Schreibgeschützt

Defines whether a service worker is ready to control a page or not. It returns a Promise that will never reject, which resolves to a ServiceWorkerRegistration (en-US) with an ServiceWorkerRegistration.active (en-US) worker.

ServiceWorkerContainer.oncontrollerchange (en-US)

An event handler fired whenever a controllerchange event occurs — when the document's associated ServiceWorkerRegistration (en-US) acquires a new ServiceWorkerRegistration.active (en-US) worker.

ServiceWorkerContainer.onerror (en-US)

An event handler fired whenever an error (en-US) event occurs in the associated service workers.

ServiceWorkerContainer.onmessage (en-US)

An event handler fired whenever a message event occurs — when incoming messages are received to the ServiceWorkerContainer object (e.g. via a MessagePort.postMessage() (en-US) call.)

ServiceWorkerContainer.register() 

Creates or updates a ServiceWorkerRegistration (en-US) for the given scriptURL.

ServiceWorkerContainer.getRegistration() (en-US)

Gets a ServiceWorkerRegistration (en-US) object whose scope URL matches the provided document URL.  If the method can't return a ServiceWorkerRegistration (en-US), it returns a Promise. 

ServiceWorkerContainer.getRegistrations() (en-US)

Returns all ServiceWorkerRegistration (en-US)s associated with a ServiceWorkerContainer in an array.  If the method can't return ServiceWorkerRegistration (en-US)s, it returns a Promise. 

This code snippet is from the service worker fallback-response sample (see fallback-response live). The code checks to see if the browser supports service workers. Then the code registers the service worker and determines if the page is actively controlled by the service worker. If it isn't, it prompts the user to reload the page so the service worker can take control. The code also reports any registration failures.

if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) {
  navigator.serviceWorker.register('service-worker.js', {scope: './'}).then(function() {
    if (navigator.serviceWorker.controller) {
      document.querySelector('#status').textContent = 'The service worker is currently handling network operations.';
      showRequestButtons();
    } else {
      document.querySelector('#status').textContent = 'Please reload this page to allow the service worker to handle network operations.';
    }
  }).catch(function(error) {
    document.querySelector('#status').textContent = error;
  });
} else {
  var aElement = document.createElement('a');
  aElement.href = 'http://www.chromium.org/blink/serviceworker/service-worker-faq';
  aElement.textContent = 'unavailable';
  document.querySelector('#status').appendChild(aElement);
}
