Report
Note: This feature is available inWeb Workers.
TheReport interface of theReporting API represents a single report.
Reports can be accessed in a number of ways:
- Via the
ReportingObserver.takeRecords()method — this returns all reports in an observer's report queue, and then empties the queue. - Via the
reportsparameter of the callback function passed into theReportingObserver()constructor upon creation of a new observer instance. This contains the list of reports currently contained in the observer's report queue. - By sending requests to the endpoints defined via the
Reporting-EndpointsHTTP header.

Examples
In ourdeprecation_report.html example, we create a simple reporting observer to observe usage of deprecated features on our web page:
const options = { types: ["deprecation"], buffered: true,};const observer = new ReportingObserver((reports, observer) => { reportBtn.onclick = () => displayReports(reports);}, options);We then tell it to start observing reports usingReportingObserver.observe(); this tells the observer to start collecting reports in its report queue, and runs the callback function specified inside the constructor:
observer.observe();Because of the event handler we set up inside theReportingObserver() constructor, we can now click the button to display the report details.

The report details are displayed via thedisplayReports() function, which takes the observer callback'sreports parameter as its parameter:
function displayReports(reports) { const outputElem = document.querySelector(".output"); const list = document.createElement("ul"); outputElem.appendChild(list); reports.forEach((report, i) => { let listItem = document.createElement("li"); let textNode = document.createTextNode( `Report ${i + 1}, type: ${report.type}`, ); listItem.appendChild(textNode); let innerList = document.createElement("ul"); listItem.appendChild(innerList); list.appendChild(listItem); for (const key in report.body) { const innerListItem = document.createElement("li"); const keyValue = report.body[key]; innerListItem.textContent = `${key}: ${keyValue}`; innerList.appendChild(innerListItem); } });}Thereports parameter contains an array of all the reports in the observer's report queue. We loop over each report using aforEach() loop, then iterate over each entry of in the report's body using afor...in structure, displaying each key/value pair inside a list item.
