if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) { // Do a one-off check to see if a service worker's in control. if (navigator.serviceWorker.controller) { console.log(`This page is currently controlled by: ${navigator.serviceWorker.controller}`); } else { console.log('This page is not currently controlled by a service worker.'); } } else { console.log('Service workers are not supported.'); }
