WorkerGlobalScope: unhandledrejection event

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

self.addEventListener("unhandledrejection", (event) => {});
self.onunhandledrejection = (event) => {};

A PromiseRejectionEvent. Inherits from Event.

PromiseRejectionEvent.promise Read only

The JavaScript Promise that was rejected.

PromiseRejectionEvent.reason Read only

A value or Object indicating why the promise was rejected, as passed to Promise.reject().

This example logs information about the unhandled promise rejection to the console.

self.addEventListener("unhandledrejection", (event) => {
  console.warn(`UNHANDLED PROMISE REJECTION: ${event.reason}`);
});

You can also use the onunhandledrejection event handler property to set up the event listener:

self.onunhandledrejection = (event) => {
  console.warn(`UNHANDLED PROMISE REJECTION: ${event.reason}`);
};

Many environments (such as Node.js) report unhandled promise rejections to the console by default. You can prevent that from happening by adding a handler for unhandledrejection events that—in addition to any other tasks you wish to perform—calls preventDefault() to cancel the event, preventing it from bubbling up to be handled by the runtime's logging code. This works because unhandledrejection is cancelable.

self.addEventListener("unhandledrejection", (event) => {
  // code for handling the unhandled rejection
  // …

  // Prevent the default handling (such as outputting the
  // error to the console)

  event.preventDefault();
});
