WindowClient.focus

This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The focus() method of the WindowClient interface gives user input focus to the current client and returns a Promise that resolves to the existing WindowClient.

Syntax

Client.focus().then(function(WindowClient) {
  // do something with your WindowClient once it has been focused
});

Parameters

None.

Returns

A Promise that resolves to the existing WindowClient.

Example

self.addEventListener('notificationclick', function(event) {
  console.log('On notification click: ', event.notification.tag);
  event.notification.close();

  // This looks to see if the current is already open and
  // focuses if it is
  event.waitUntil(clients.matchAll({
    type: "window"
  }).then(function(clientList) {
    for (var i = 0; i < clientList.length; i++) {
      var client = clientList[i];
      if (client.url == '/' && 'focus' in client)
        return client.focus();
    }
    if (clients.openWindow)
      return clients.openWindow('/');
  }));
});
