Limited availability
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 messageerror
event of the ServiceWorkerGlobalScope
interface occurs when incoming messages can't be deserialized.
This event is not cancelable and does not bubble.
SyntaxUse the event name in methods like addEventListener()
, or set an event handler property.
addEventListener("messageerror", (event) => { })
onmessageerror = (event) => { }
Event type Event properties
Inherits properties from its parent, ExtendableEvent
.
ExtendableMessageEvent.data
Read only
Returns the event's data. It can be any data type. If dispatched in messageerror
event, the property will be null
.
ExtendableMessageEvent.origin
Read only
Returns the origin of the Client
that sent the message.
ExtendableMessageEvent.lastEventId
Read only
Represents, in server-sent events, the last event ID of the event source.
ExtendableMessageEvent.source
Read only
Returns a reference to the Client
object that sent the message.
ExtendableMessageEvent.ports
Read only
Returns the array containing the MessagePort
objects representing the ports of the associated message channel.
In the below example a page gets a handle to the ServiceWorker
object via ServiceWorkerRegistration.active
, and then calls its postMessage()
function.
// main.js
if (navigator.serviceWorker) {
navigator.serviceWorker.register("service-worker.js");
navigator.serviceWorker.addEventListener("message", (event) => {
// event is a MessageEvent object
console.log(`The service worker sent me a message: ${event.data}`);
});
navigator.serviceWorker.ready.then((registration) => {
registration.active.postMessage("Hi service worker");
});
}
The service worker can listen for the message deserialization error by listening to the messageerror
event:
// service-worker.js
self.addEventListener("messageerror", (event) => {
// event is an ExtendableMessageEvent object
console.error("Message deserialization failed");
});
Alternatively, the script can listen for the message deserialization error using onmessageerror
:
// service-worker.js
self.onmessageerror = (event) => {
// event is an ExtendableMessageEvent object
console.error("Message deserialization failed");
};
