PermissionStatus: state property

Available in workers

The state read-only property of the PermissionStatus interface returns the state of a requested permission. This property returns one of 'granted', 'denied', or 'prompt'.

Value

One of the following:

• 'granted'
  • : The user, or the user agent on the user’s behalf, has given express permission to use a powerful feature. The caller can use the feature possibly without having the user agent ask the user’s permission.
• 'denied'
  • : The user, or the user agent on the user’s behalf, has denied access to this powerful feature. The caller can’t use the feature.
• 'prompt'
  • : The user has not given express permission to use the feature (i.e., it’s the same as denied). It also means that if a caller attempts to use the feature, the user agent will either be prompting the user for permission or access to the feature will be denied.

Examples

navigator.permissions
  .query({ name: "geolocation" })
  .then((permissionStatus) => {
    console.log(`geolocation permission state is ${permissionStatus.state}`);
    permissionStatus.onchange = () => {
      console.log(
        `geolocation permission status has changed to ${permissionStatus.state}`,
      );
    };
  });
