Motivation - Communicate updates without distracting the user (in constrast to push notifications) - Typically displays a badge on the home screen, task bar or dock - Appearance varies from platform to platform The Web in 2020 Wohin sich das Web bewegt Badging API

API Set the badge navigator.setAppBadge(5); Clear the badge navigator.clearAppBadge(); The Web in 2020 Wohin sich das Web bewegt Badging API

Demo • Install (link: http://Airhorner.com) Airhorner.com (Windows / macOS, not Android). • Paste this code in the @ChromeDevTools console: ``` let c = 0; const h = document.querySelector('.horn'); h.addEventListener('click', _ => { navigator.setExperimentalAppBadge(++c); }); ``` • Honk. • T̶h̶a̶n̶k̶ Hate me.

Motivation - Devices can go to sleep in order to reduce energy consumption - Different types of sleep: - Turn off the display (screen sleep) - Turn off the CPU (system sleep) - However, this can get bothersome in some situations (e.g. while watching a movie etc.) - The Wake Lock API prevents the device from going to sleep for a given period of time The Web in 2020 Wohin sich das Web bewegt Wake Lock API

API let wakeLockObj; if ('getWakeLock' in navigator) { try { wakeLockObj = await navigator.getWakeLock('screen'); console.log('', 'getWakeLock', wakeLockObj); } catch (ex) { console.error('', 'getWakeLock', err); } } The Web in 2020 Wohin sich das Web bewegt Wake Lock API https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2018/12/wakelock

Motivation - Currently, websites only have very limited access to the file system - Some applications heavily rely on working with files (e.g. Visual Studio Code) - Wouldn’t it be great if your web application could open files or folders from the native file system? The Web in 2020 Wohin sich das Web bewegt Native File System API

API (may change!) if ('chooseFileSystemEntries' in window) { const handle = await window.chooseFileSystemEntries(); const file = await handle.getFile(); // do something with the file } else { // use fallback API or disable feature in app } The Web in 2020 Wohin sich das Web bewegt Native File System API
