ServiceWorkerGlobalScope: backgroundfetchsuccess event
Limited availability
This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
Secure context: This feature is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers.
Note: This feature is only available in Service Workers.
The backgroundfetchsuccess
event of the ServiceWorkerGlobalScope
interface is fired when a background fetch operation has completed successfully: that is, when all network requests in the fetch have completed successfully.
This event is not cancelable and does not bubble.
Syntax
Use the event name in methods like addEventListener()
, or set an event handler property.
addEventListener("backgroundfetchsuccess", (event) => {});
onbackgroundfetchsuccess = (event) => {};

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.
Description
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.
Examples
Storing responses and updating UI
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" });
});
});
