PermissionStatus: state property

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}`,
      );
    };
  });
