This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The Navigator.permissions read-only property returns a Permissions object that can be used to query and update permission status of APIs covered by the Permissions API.
Syntax
permissionsObj = globalObj.navigator.permissions
Value
A Permissions object.
Examples
navigator.permissions.query({name:'geolocation'}).then(function(result) {
if (result.state === 'granted') {
showMap();
} else if (result.state === 'prompt') {
showButtonToEnableMap();
}
// Don't do anything if the permission was denied.
});
