TaskController: TaskController() constructor

The TaskController() constructor creates a new TaskController object, optionally setting the initial priority of its associated signal.

If no priority is set, the signal priority defaults to user-visible

Syntax

js

new TaskController()
new TaskController(options)

Parameters

options Optional

An object with the following properties:

priority Optional

The priority of the signal associated with this TaskController. One of: "user-blocking", "user-visible" (default), "background".

Examples

This code shows how to construct a task controller that has a signal with default priority (user-visible).

js

const controller = new TaskController();

To construct a task controller that has a specific signal priority, pass the priority as a property of the optional argument.

js

controller2 = new TaskController({ priority: "user-blocking" });
