This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.
The PermissionStatus.state read-only property of the PermissionStatus interface returns the state of a requested permission. This property returns one of 'granted', 'denied', or 'prompt'.
Syntax
var permission = PermissionStatus.state
Example
navigator.permissions.query({name:'geolocation'}).then(function(permissionStatus) {
console.log('geolocation permission state is ', permissionStatus.state);
permissionStatus.onchange = function() {
console.log('geolocation permission status has changed to ', this.state);
};
});
