The match() method of the BackgroundFetchRegistration interface returns the first matching BackgroundFetchRecord.

request

The Request for which you are attempting to find records. This can be a Request object or a URL.

options Optional

An object that sets options for the match operation. The available options are:

ignoreSearch

A boolean value that specifies whether to ignore the query string in the URL. For example, if set to true the ?value=bar part of http://foo.com/?value=bar would be ignored when performing a match. It defaults to false.

ignoreMethod

A boolean value. When true, prevents matching operations from validating the Request http method. If false (the default) only GET and HEAD are allowed.

ignoreVary

A boolean value. When true indicates that the VARY header should be ignored. It defaults to false.

A Promise that resolves with the first BackgroundFetchRecord that matches the request or undefined if no match is found.

InvalidStateError DOMException

Returned if you call match() when there are no fetches in progress. This state will be reflected by BackgroundFetchRegistration.recordsAvailable being set to false.

In this example we look for a record with the URL "/ep-5.mp3". If a BackgroundFetchRecord is found then we can return some information about it.

bgFetch.match("/ep-5.mp3").then(async (record) => {
  if (!record) {
    console.log("No record found");
    return;
  }

  console.log(`Here's the request`, record.request);
  const response = await record.responseReady;
  console.log(`And here's the response`, response);
});
