Document: currentScript property
The Document.currentScript
property returns the <script>
element whose script is currently being processed and isn't a JavaScript module. (For modules use import.meta
instead.)
It's important to note that this will not reference the <script>
element if the code in the script is being called as a callback or event handler; it
will only reference the element while it's initially being processed.
Value
A HTMLScriptElement
or null.
Examples
This example checks to see if the script is being executed asynchronously:
js
if (document.currentScript.async) {
console.log("Executing asynchronously");
} else {
console.log("Executing synchronously");
}
