Imagine you want to open a popup window in fullscreen mode. Until now, opening a fullscreen popup window consisted of two steps:
- From the main app window, calling the`window.open()`method that requires a user gesture like the click on an Open popup window button.
- From the popup window, calling the`Element.requestFullscreen()`method, which likewise requires a user gesture like the click on an Enter fullscreen mode button.
There's now a new origin trial available running from Chrome 119 (stable date): October 31, 2023 to Chrome 122 (stable date): October 31, 2023 for opening popup windows in fullscreen mode with just one step. Click Register on the origin trial landing page to sign up. Apart from the origin trial, you can also test locally by setting the `chrome://flags/
fullscreen-popup-windows` flag to Enabled.
This new feature is gated behind the permission. Once the user has granted the permission, you can open a fullscreen popup window as in the following example. document.querySelector('.fullscreen-popoup-button').addEventListener('click', async (e) => { if ((await navigator.permissions.query({name: 'window-management'})).state !== 'granted') { // Permission not granted. Call `window.getScreenDetails()` to prompt. await window.getScreenDetails(); } // Permission granted. Open the fullscreen popup window. window.open('//example.com/popup.html', '_blank', 'popup,fullscreen'); });
In the last line of the code sample, the first parameter is the to open in the popup window. The second parameter is the , with the special value of . The third parameter is for the , a comma-separated string with the value document.querySelector(& # 39;.fullscreen-popoup-button-other-screen& # 39;).addEventListener(& # 39;click& # 39;, async (e) => { const screenDetails = await window.getScreenDetails(); const otherScreen = screenDetails.screens.find(s => s !== screenDetails.currentScreen); window.open(& # 39;//example.com/popup.html& # 39;, & # 39;_blank& # 39;, `left=${otherScreen.availLeft},` + `top=${otherScreen.availTop},` + `width=${otherScreen.availWidth},` + `height=${otherScreen.availHeight},` + `fullscreen`); });
0 for opening a popup window and the new value document.querySelector(& # 39;.fullscreen-popoup-button-other-screen& # 39;).addEventListener(& # 39;click& # 39;, async (e) => { const screenDetails = await window.getScreenDetails(); const otherScreen = screenDetails.screens.find(s => s !== screenDetails.currentScreen); window.open(& # 39;//example.com/popup.html& # 39;, & # 39;_blank& # 39;, `left=${otherScreen.availLeft},` + `top=${otherScreen.availTop},` + `width=${otherScreen.availWidth},` + `height=${otherScreen.availHeight},` + `fullscreen`); });
1 for opening the popup window in fullscreen mode. This works with just one user gesture, therefore can be activated with a single click on a button.
This feature really shines in combination with the Window Management API which lets you obtain information about all the screens the user has connected to their computer. For example, to open a fullscreen popup window on another screen than the user's current screen, you need to first and then pass its document.querySelector(& # 39;.fullscreen-popoup-button-other-screen& # 39;).addEventListener(& # 39;click& # 39;, async (e) => { const screenDetails = await window.getScreenDetails(); const otherScreen = screenDetails.screens.find(s => s !== screenDetails.currentScreen); window.open(& # 39;//example.com/popup.html& # 39;, & # 39;_blank& # 39;, `left=${otherScreen.availLeft},` + `top=${otherScreen.availTop},` + `width=${otherScreen.availWidth},` + `height=${otherScreen.availHeight},` + `fullscreen`); });
