Explainer https://github.com/darrenw/docs/blob/main/explainers/beacon_api.md Specification https://clelland.github.io/page-unload-beacon/spec.html (In draft state) Summary A stateful API for beacons that has the browser control the time beacons are sent. Existing beacon APIs are all based around a developer constructing and sending a beacon, and there's no good time for that "send" call to be made. (Handlers such as 'unload' are often ignored, for example.) This API delegates the sending to the browser itself, so it can support beacons on page unload or on page hide, without the developer having to implement send calls at exactly the right times. Blink component Blink>Network <https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?q=component:Blink%3ENetwork> TAG review None yet. TAG review status N/A Risks Interoperability and Compatibility Gecko: No signal WebKit: No signal Web developers: No signals Other signals: WebView application risks Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications? Goals for experimentation The intent is for experiments to learn that developers can easily adopt the API shapes to achieve current use cases in addition to getting feedback from them. The experiment also aims to test the stability and reliability of the API. Ongoing technical constraints In M104, the API described in the explainer is not yet fully developed, such that the API - Supports only the GET method. Setting it to POST will fall back to GET. - Does not support request payload, i.e. it does not send out data set by setData(data). - Does not support pageHideTimeout. - Does not recover from browser crashes, forced closures, network failure, etc. Debuggability There are no particular debugging APIs made available or Chrome DevTools integrations for this OT. We plan to build an integration with Chrome DevTools to provide a better developer experience. This OT will allow us to get feedback that helps us build the right design. Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)? Yes Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests <https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md> ? No, basic tests are present and we will be adding more as we complete more of the implementation. Flag name PendingBeaconAPI Requires code in //chrome?
