WebGLContextEvent: statusMessage property

Available in workers

The read-only WebGLContextEvent.statusMessage property contains additional event status information, or is an empty string if no additional information is available.

Examples

The statusMessage property can contain a platform dependent string with details of an event. This can occur, for example, if the webglcontextcreationerror event is fired.

const canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
const gl = canvas.getContext("webgl");

canvas.addEventListener("webglcontextcreationerror", (e) => {
  console.log(
    `WebGL context creation failed: ${e.statusMessage || "Unknown error"}`,
  );
});
