The invoker read-only property of the PerformanceScriptTiming interface returns a string value indicating the identity of the feature that, when invoked, ran the script.

A string, the structure of which depends on the script's PerformanceScriptTiming.invokerType value:

"event-listener" The tagName of the element, followed by a hash and its id (#id) or by src= and its src value in square brackets ([src=url]) if an id is not present, followed by a dot, followed by the event handler property. "IMG#hero.onload", "IMG[src=https://example.com/img.jpg].onload", "BUTTON#updateCart.onclick"
"resolve-promise" or "reject-promise" The object and method that invoked the promise, followed by a dot, followed by "then" for "resolve-promise" and "catch" for "reject-promise". "Response.json.then", "Response.json.catch"
