option of the Notification()
constructor.
Syntax
var silent = Notification.silent;
Value
A Boolean
. false
is the default; true
makes the notification silent.
Examples
The following snippet is intended to fire a silent notification; a simple options
object is created, and then the notification is fired using the Notification()
constructor.
var options = { body: 'Do you like my body?', silent: true } var n = new Notification('Test notification', options); console.log(n.silent) // should log true
