TaskPriorityChangeEvent

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

The TaskPriorityChangeEvent is the interface for the prioritychange event.

Constructor

TaskPriorityChangeEvent(): Creates a new TaskPriorityChangeEvent object, setting an event name and previous priority.

Instance properties

This interface also inherits the properties of its parent, Event.

TaskPriorityChangeEvent.previousPriority Read only: Returns the priority of the corresponding TaskSignal before this prioritychange event.

Instance methods

This interface has no methods of its own, but inherits the methods of its parent, Event.

Examples

An object of this type is returned in the handler for a prioritychange event. The code below shows a handler in which the newPriority and previousPriority are logged.

// Listen for 'prioritychange' events on the controller's signal.
controller.signal.addEventListener("prioritychange", (event) => {
  const previousPriority = event.previousPriority;
  const newPriority = event.target.priority;
  console.log(`Priority changed from ${previousPriority} to ${newPriority}.`);
});
