BackgroundFetchEvent: BackgroundFetchEvent() constructor

Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

Parameters

type

A string with the name of the event. It is case-sensitive and browsers set it to backgroundfetchabort or backgroundfetchclick.

A BackgroundFetchRegistration object.
