ReportingObserver: disconnect() method

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

The disconnect() method of the ReportingObserver interface stops a reporting observer that had previously started observing from collecting reports.

After calling disconnect(), neither ReportingObserver.takeRecords() nor the records parameter of the ReportingObserver() callback will return any reports. The associated observer will no longer be active.

Syntax

js
disconnect()

Parameters

None.

Return value

None (undefined).

Examples

js
const options = {
  types: ["deprecation"],
  buffered: true,
};

const observer = new ReportingObserver((reports, observer) => {
  reportBtn.onclick = () => displayReports(reports);
}, options);

observer.observe();

// ...

observer.disconnect();
