DeprecationReportBody: anticipatedRemoval property

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes. Avoid using it, and update existing code if possible; see the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to guide your decision. Be aware that this feature may cease to work at any time.

The anticipatedRemoval read-only property of the DeprecationReportBody interface returns the date that the browser version which removes the feature will ship. This value can be used to prioritize warnings. If this property returns null because the date is unknown, then the deprecation should be considered low priority.

Value

A date object, or null if the date is not known.

Examples

In this example we create a new ReportingObserver to observe deprecation reports, then print the value of anticipatedRemoval to the console.

js
let options = {
  types: ["deprecation"],
  buffered: true,
};

let observer = new ReportingObserver((reports, observer) => {
  let firstReport = reports[0];
  console.log(firstReport.type); // deprecation
  console.log(firstReport.body.anticipatedRemoval);
}, options);
