ServiceWorker: error event

The error event fires whenever an error occurs in the service worker.

Syntax

js

addEventListener("error", (event) => {});

onerror = (event) => {};

Event type

A generic Event.

Example

The following code snippet gets a handle to the ServiceWorker object via ServiceWorkerRegistration.active and sets up an onerror handler on the resulting object:

js

// in the page being controlled
if (navigator.serviceWorker) {
  navigator.serviceWorker.register("service-worker.js");

  navigator.serviceWorker.ready.then((registration) => {
    registration.active.onerror = (event) => {
      console.log("An error occurred in the service worker!");
    };
  });
}
