ContentIndexEvent

Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

Note: This feature is only available in Service Workers.

The ContentIndexEvent interface of the content index defines the object used to represent the contentdelete event.

This event is sent to the global scope of a ServiceWorker. It contains the id of the indexed content to be removed.

The contentdelete event is only fired when the deletion happens due to interaction with the browser's built-in user interface. It is not fired when the ContentIndex.delete method is called.
