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 FetchEvent() constructor creates a new FetchEvent object.

Syntax

var myFetchEvent = new FetchEvent(type, init);

Parameters

type
The type of the Event.
init Optional
An options object containing any custom settings that you want to apply to the event object. Options are as follows:
  • request: The Request object that would have triggered the event handler.
  • clientId: The Client that the current service worker is controlling. This property is not yet implemented in Chrome.
  • isReload: A Boolean that signifies whether the page was reloaded or not when the event was dispatched. true if yes, and false if not. Typically, pressing the refresh button in a browser is a reload, while clicking a link and pressing the back button is not. If not present, it defaults to false.
