Additional Notes

This function is essentially an alias for navigator.serviceWorker.controller.postMessage(data), but it also checks if Service Worker is supported and if there is currently a controller, so it is safe to use anywhere.

Remember: Using shift+reload bypasses the service worker so the window will not be controlled! This prevents messages from being posted!

    Override

    To override or disable this JavaScript function, simply redeclare it with the exact same function name. Remember: Some functionality is conditionally loaded via dynamic imports, so if your function is not overriding properly, try listening for a DOM event (described below).

    JavaScript
    function postMessage(data){
        //Write your own code here, leave it blank, or return false.
    }
