Window: rejectionhandled event
The rejectionhandled
event is sent to the script's global scope (usually window
but also Worker
) whenever a rejected JavaScript Promise
is handled late, i.e. when a handler is attached to the promise after its rejection had caused an unhandledrejection
event.
This can be used in debugging and for general application resiliency, in tandem with the unhandledrejection
event, which is sent when a promise is rejected but there is no handler for the rejection at the time.
Syntax

, or set an event handler property.
addEventListener("rejectionhandled", (event) => {});
onrejectionhandled = (event) => {};
