web api instance method
Document: exitFullscreen() method
The Document method
exitFullscreen() requests that the element on this
document which is currently being presented in fullscreen mode be taken out of
fullscreen mode, restoring the previous state of the screen. This usually
reverses the effects of a previous call to requestFullscreen().
Syntax
exitFullscreen()
Parameters
None.
Return value
A Promise which is resolved once the user agent has
finished exiting fullscreen mode. If an error occurs while attempting to exit
fullscreen mode, the catch() handler for the promise is called.
Examples
This example causes the current document to toggle in and out of a fullscreen presentation whenever the mouse button is clicked within it.
document.onclick = (event) => {
if (document.fullscreenElement) {
document
.exitFullscreen()
.then(() => console.log("Document Exited from Full screen mode"))
.catch((err) => console.error(err));
} else {
document.documentElement.requestFullscreen();
}
};
