HTMLCanvasElement: webglcontextrestored event
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The webglcontextrestored
event of the WebGL API is fired if the user agent restores the drawing buffer for a WebGLRenderingContext
object.
Once the context is restored, WebGL resources such as textures and buffers that were created before the context was lost are no longer valid. You need to reinitialize the state of your WebGL application and recreate resources.
This event does not bubble.
Syntax

, or set an event handler property.
addEventListener("webglcontextrestored", (event) => {});
onwebglcontextrestored = (event) => {};
Event type

Event properties

.
WebGLContextEvent.statusMessage
-
A read-only property containing additional information about the event.
Example
With the help of the WEBGL_lose_context
extension, you can simulate the webglcontextrestored
event:
const canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
const gl = canvas.getContext("webgl");
canvas.addEventListener(
"webglcontextrestored",
(e) => {
console.log(e);
},
false,
);
gl.getExtension("WEBGL_lose_context").restoreContext();
// "webglcontextrestored" event is logged.
