The onfetch property of the ServiceWorkerGlobalScope interface is an event handler fired whenever a fetch event occurs (usually when the fetch() method is called.) 
serviceWorkerGlobalScope.onfetch = function(fetchEvent) { ... };
 This code snippet is from the service worker prefetch sample (see prefetch example live.) The ServiceWorkerGlobalScope.onfetch event handler listens for the fetch event. When fired, the code returns a promise that resolves to the first matching request in the Cache object. If no match is found, the code fetches a response from the network. 
 The code also handles exceptions thrown from the fetch() operation. Note that an HTTP error response (e.g., 404) will not trigger an exception. It will return a normal response object that has the appropriate error code set. 
self.addEventListener('fetch', function(event) { console.log('Handling fetch event for', event.request.url); event.respondWith( caches.match(event.request).then(function(response) { if (response) { console.log('Found response in cache:', response); return response; } console.log('No response found in cache. About to fetch from network...'); return fetch(event.request).then(function(response) { console.log('Response from network is:', response); return response; }).catch(function(error) { console.error('Fetching failed:', error); throw error; }); }) ); });
