Non-standard: This feature is not standardized. We do not recommend using non-standard features in production, as they have limited browser support, and may change or be removed. However, they can be a suitable alternative in specific cases where no standard option exists.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

The register method is used to ask the system to request a new endpoint for notifications.

Note: This method has been superseded by PushManager.subscribe().

Syntax

register()

Parameters

None.

Return value

A DOMRequest object to handle the success or failure of the method call.

If the method call is successful, the request's result will be a string, which is the endpoint URL.

Note: If you do not need the URL any more, please use PushManager.unregister() to clean up after yourself.

Examples

const req = navigator.push.register();

req.onsuccess = (e) => {
  const endpoint = req.result;
  console.log(`New endpoint: ${endpoint}`);
};

req.onerror = (e) => {
  console.error(`Error getting a new endpoint: ${e.error}`);
};
