Just thinking out loud here... a `.canLock()` method could be an alternative. To return true, the `.canLock()` method presupposes that: * all orientations are supported in one way or another (e.g, "portrait-secondary" is treated as "portrait-primary"). * all pre-lock conditions are met (e.g., is in full screen). * The OS supports locking and/or there isn something else that would prevent the lock (without revealing what "something else" is, for privacy reasons). * The document fully active. Additionally, I think all the preconditions of `.canLock()` can be checked synchronously: it would basically perform all the synchronous checks that `.lock()` performs before doing its "in parallel" steps. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/w3c/screen-orientation/issues/206#issuecomment-1281862743 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
