ServiceWorkerGlobalScope: backgroundfetchsuccess event

Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.

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

onbackgroundfetchsuccess = (event) => {};

A BackgroundFetchUpdateUIEvent.

Inherits properties from its parent, BackgroundFetchEvent.

BackgroundFetchUpdateUIEvent.updateUI()

Updates the UI of the element that the browser displays to show the progress of the fetch operation.

When a background fetch operation completes successfully (meaning that all individual network requests have completed successfully), the browser starts the service worker, if necessary, and fires the backgroundfetchsuccess event in the service worker's global scope.

In the handler for this event, the service worker can retrieve and store the responses (for example, using the Cache API). To access the response data, the service worker uses the event's registration property.

In the background fetch API, the browser shows a UI element to the user to indicate the progress of the operation. In the backgroundfetchsuccess handler, the service worker can update that UI to show that the operation has completed successfully. To do this, the handler calls the event's updateUI() method, passing in a new title and/or icons.

This event handler stores all responses in the cache, and updates the UI.

addEventListener("backgroundfetchsuccess", (event) => {
  const registration = event.registration;

  event.waitUntil(async () => {
    // Open a cache
    const cache = await caches.open("movies");
    // Get all the records
    const records = await registration.matchAll();
    // Cache all responses
    const cachePromises = records.map(async (record) => {
      const response = await record.responseReady;
      await cache.put(record.request, response);
    });

    // Wait for caching to finish
    await Promise.all(cachePromises);

    // Update the browser's UI
    event.updateUI({ title: "Move download complete" });
  });
});
