FetchEvent: isReload property

Deprecated

Avoid using this feature in new projects. This feature may be a candidate for removal from web standards or browsers.

Non-standard: This feature is not standardized. We do not recommend using non-standard features in production, as they have limited browser support, and may change or be removed. However, they can be a suitable alternative in specific cases where no standard option exists.

Note: This feature is only available in Service Workers.

The isReload read-only property of the FetchEvent interface returns true if the event was dispatched by the user attempting to reload the page, and false otherwise. Pressing the refresh button is a reload while clicking a link and pressing the back button is not.

Value

A boolean value.

Examples

js
self.addEventListener("fetch", (event) => {
  event.respondWith(async () => {
    if (event.isReload) {
      // Return something
    } else {
      // Return something else
    }
  })();
});
