FetchEvent.isReload

Obsolete
This feature is obsolete. Although it may still work in some browsers, its use is discouraged since it could be removed at any time. Try to avoid using it.

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.

Syntax

var reloaded = FetchEvent.isReload

Value

A Boolean.

Example

self.addEventListener('fetch', function(event) {
  event.respondWith(
    if (event.isReload) {
      //Return something
    } else {
      //Return something else
    };
  );
​});
