or
const allowed = FeaturePolicy.allowsFeature(feature, origin);

Example
The following example queries whether or not the document is allowed to use camera API by the Permissions Policy. Please note that Camera API might be restricted by the Permissions API, if the user did not grant the corresponding permission yet.
const featurePolicy = document.featurePolicy;
const allowed = featurePolicy.allowsFeature("camera");
if (allowed) {
console.log("FP allows camera.");
} else {
console.log("FP does not allows camera.");
}
