Detect document ready in pure JS
The cross-browser way to check if the document has loaded in pure JavaScript is using readyState
.
if (document.readyState === 'complete') {
// The page is fully loaded
}
You can detect when the document is ready…
let stateCheck = setInterval(() => {
if (document.readyState === 'complete') {
clearInterval(stateCheck);
// document ready
}
}, 100);
or with onreadystatechange…
document.onreadystatechange = () => {
if (document.readyState === 'complete') {
// document ready
}
};
Use document.readyState === 'interactive'
to detect when the DOM is ready.
