Runtime Domain
Runtime domain exposes JavaScript runtime by means of remote evaluation and mirror objects. Evaluation results are returned as mirror object that expose object type, string representation and unique identifier that can be used for further object reference. Original objects are maintained in memory unless they are either explicitly released or are released along with the other objects in their object group.

Methods
Runtime.addBinding #
If executionContextId is empty, adds binding with the given name on the global objects of all inspected contexts, including those created later, bindings survive reloads. Binding function takes exactly one argument, this argument should be string, in case of any other input, function throws an exception. Each binding function call produces Runtime.bindingCalled notification.
A map from binding names (registered during this session using @cdp Runtime.addBinding) to execution context selectors.
Even though bindings get added to the global scope as functions that can outlive a session, they are treated as session state, matching Chrome's behaviour (a binding not added by the current session will not emit events on it).
Parameters
name
string
executionContextId
Optional
If specified, the binding would only be exposed to the specified
execution context. If omitted and executionContextName
is not set,
the binding is exposed to all execution contexts of the target.
This parameter is mutually exclusive with executionContextName
.
Deprecated in favor of executionContextName
due to an unclear use case
and bugs in implementation (crbug.com/1169639). executionContextId
will be
removed in the future.
executionContextName
Optional
string
If specified, the binding is exposed to the executionContext with
matching name, even for contexts created after the binding is added.
See also ExecutionContext.name
and worldName
parameter to
Page.addScriptToEvaluateOnNewDocument
.
This parameter is mutually exclusive with executionContextId
.
Runtime.callFunctionOn #
Calls function with given declaration on the given object. Object group of the result is inherited from the target object.
In V8, @cdp Runtime.evaluate and @cdp Runtime.callFunctionOn populate the
result
field with the exception value, and some code paths in Chrome
DevTools depend on this.
See
https://github.com/facebookexperimental/rn-chrome-devtools-frontend/blob/35aa264a622e853bb28b4c83a7b5cc3b2a9747bc/front_end/core/sdk/RemoteObject.ts#L574-L592
Handles Runtime.callFunctionOn request @cdp Runtime.callFunctionOn Allowed even if domain is not enabled.
Parameters
functionDeclaration
string
Declaration of the function to call.
objectId
Optional
Identifier of the object to call function on. Either objectId or executionContextId should be specified.
arguments
Optional
array[ CallArgument ]
Call arguments. All call arguments must belong to the same JavaScript world as the target object.
silent
Optional
boolean
In silent mode exceptions thrown during evaluation are not reported and do not pause
execution. Overrides setPauseOnException
state.
returnByValue
Optional
boolean
Whether the result is expected to be a JSON object which should be sent by value.
Can be overriden by serializationOptions
.
generatePreview
Optional
boolean
Whether preview should be generated for the result.
userGesture
Optional
boolean
Whether execution should be treated as initiated by user in the UI.
awaitPromise
Optional
boolean
Whether execution should await
for resulting value and return once awaited promise is
resolved.
executionContextId
Optional
Specifies execution context which global object will be used to call function on. Either executionContextId or objectId should be specified.
objectGroup
Optional
string
Symbolic group name that can be used to release multiple objects. If objectGroup is not specified and objectId is, objectGroup will be inherited from object.
throwOnSideEffect
Optional
boolean
Whether to throw an exception if side effect cannot be ruled out during evaluation.
uniqueContextId
Optional
string
An alternative way to specify the execution context to call function on.
Compared to contextId that may be reused across processes, this is guaranteed to be
system-unique, so it can be used to prevent accidental function call
in context different than intended (e.g. as a result of navigation across process
boundaries).
This is mutually exclusive with executionContextId
.
serializationOptions
Optional
Specifies the result serialization. If provided, overrides
generatePreview
and returnByValue
.
Return object
result
Call result.
exceptionDetails
Optional
Exception details.
Runtime.compileScript #
Compiles expression.
Handles Runtime.compileScript request @cdp Runtime.compileScript Not allowed if domain is not enabled.
Parameters
expression
string
Expression to compile.
sourceURL
string
Source url to be set for the script.
persistScript
boolean
Specifies whether the compiled script should be persisted.
executionContextId
Optional
Specifies in which execution context to perform script run. If the parameter is omitted the evaluation will be performed in the context of the inspected page.
Return object
scriptId
Optional
Id of the script.
exceptionDetails
Optional
Exception details.
Runtime.disable #
Disables reporting of execution contexts creation.
Handles Runtime.disable request @cdp Runtime.disable If domain is already disabled, will return success.
Runtime.enable #
Enables reporting of execution contexts creation by means of executionContextCreated
event.
When the reporting gets enabled the event will be sent immediately for each existing execution
context.
Handles Runtime.enable request @cdp Runtime.enable If domain is already enabled, will return success.
Runtime.evaluate #
Evaluates expression on global object.
In V8, @cdp Runtime.evaluate and @cdp Runtime.callFunctionOn populate the
result
field with the exception value, and some code paths in Chrome
DevTools depend on this.
See
https://github.com/facebookexperimental/rn-chrome-devtools-frontend/blob/35aa264a622e853bb28b4c83a7b5cc3b2a9747bc/front_end/core/sdk/RemoteObject.ts#L574-L592
Handles Runtime.evaluate request @cdp Runtime.evaluate Allowed even if domain is not enabled.
Parameters
expression
string
Expression to evaluate.
objectGroup
Optional
string
Symbolic group name that can be used to release multiple objects.
includeCommandLineAPI
Optional
boolean
Determines whether Command Line API should be available during the evaluation.
silent
Optional
boolean
In silent mode exceptions thrown during evaluation are not reported and do not pause
execution. Overrides setPauseOnException
state.
contextId
Optional
Specifies in which execution context to perform evaluation. If the parameter is omitted the
evaluation will be performed in the context of the inspected page.
This is mutually exclusive with uniqueContextId
, which offers an
alternative way to identify the execution context that is more reliable
in a multi-process environment.
returnByValue
Optional
boolean
Whether the result is expected to be a JSON object that should be sent by value.
generatePreview
Optional
boolean
Whether preview should be generated for the result.
userGesture
Optional
boolean
Whether execution should be treated as initiated by user in the UI.
awaitPromise
Optional
boolean
Whether execution should await
for resulting value and return once awaited promise is
resolved.
throwOnSideEffect
Optional
boolean
Whether to throw an exception if side effect cannot be ruled out during evaluation.
This implies disableBreaks
below.
timeout
Optional
disableBreaks
Optional
boolean
Disable breakpoints during execution.
replMode
Optional
boolean
Setting this flag to true enables let
re-declaration and top-level await
.
Note that let
variables can only be re-declared if they originate from
replMode
themselves.
allowUnsafeEvalBlockedByCSP
Optional
boolean
The Content Security Policy (CSP) for the target might block 'unsafe-eval' which includes eval(), Function(), setTimeout() and setInterval() when called with non-callable arguments. This flag bypasses CSP for this evaluation and allows unsafe-eval. Defaults to true.
uniqueContextId
Optional
string
An alternative way to specify the execution context to evaluate in.
Compared to contextId that may be reused across processes, this is guaranteed to be
system-unique, so it can be used to prevent accidental evaluation of the expression
in context different than intended (e.g. as a result of navigation across process
boundaries).
This is mutually exclusive with contextId
.
serializationOptions
Optional
Specifies the result serialization. If provided, overrides
generatePreview
and returnByValue
.
Return object
result
Evaluation result.
exceptionDetails
Optional
Exception details.
Runtime.getProperties #
Returns properties of a given object. Object group of the result is inherited from the target object.
Handles Runtime.getProperties request @cdp Runtime.getProperties Allowed even if domain is not enabled.
Parameters
objectId
Identifier of the object to return properties for.
ownProperties
Optional
boolean
If true, returns properties belonging only to the element itself, not to its prototype chain.

nonIndexedPropertiesOnly
Optional
boolean
If true, returns non-indexed properties only.
Return object
result
array[ PropertyDescriptor ]
Object properties.
internalProperties
Optional
array[ InternalPropertyDescriptor ]
Internal object properties (only of the element itself).
privateProperties
Optional
exceptionDetails
Optional
Exception details.
Runtime.globalLexicalScopeNames #
Returns all let, const and class variables from global scope.
Handles Runtime.globalLexicalScopeNames request @cdp Runtime.globalLexicalScopeNames Allowed even if domain is not enabled.
Parameters
executionContextId
Optional
Specifies in which execution context to lookup global scope variables.
Return object
names
array[ string
]
Runtime.removeBinding #
This method does not remove binding function from global object but unsubscribes current runtime agent from Runtime.bindingCalled notifications.
Runtime.removeBinding has no targeting by execution context. We interpret it to mean "unsubscribe, and stop installing the binding on all new contexts". This diverges slightly from V8, which continues to install the binding on new contexts after it's "removed", but only if the subscription is targeted by context name.
Parameters
name
string
Runtime.getHeapUsage Experimental#
Returns the JavaScript heap usage. It is the total usage of the corresponding isolate not scoped to a particular Runtime.
Handles Runtime.getHeapUsage request @cdp Runtime.getHeapUsage Allowed even if domain is not enabled.
Return object
usedSize
number
Used heap size in bytes.
totalSize
number
Allocated heap size in bytes.
Events
Runtime.consoleAPICalled #
Issued when console API was called.
We use the @cdp Runtime.consoleAPICalled context
parameter to
mark synthetic messages generated by the backend, i.e. not
originating in a real console.*
API call.
Parameters
type
string
Type of the call.
Allowed values: log
, debug
, info
, error
, warning
, dir
, dirxml
, table
, trace
, clear
, startGroup
, startGroupCollapsed
, endGroup
, assert
, profile
, profileEnd
, count
, timeEnd
args
array[ RemoteObject ]
Call arguments.
executionContextId
Identifier of the context where the call was made.
timestamp
Call timestamp.
stackTrace
Optional
Stack trace captured when the call was made. The async stack chain is automatically reported for
the following call types: assert
, error
, trace
, warning
. For other types the async call
chain can be retrieved using Debugger.getStackTrace
and stackTrace.parentId
field.
context
Optional
string
Console context descriptor for calls on non-default console context (not console.*): 'anonymous#unique-logger-id' for call on unnamed context, 'name#unique-logger-id' for call on named context.
Runtime.executionContextCreated #
Issued when new execution context is created.
Parameters
context
A newly created execution context.
Runtime.executionContextDestroyed #
Issued when execution context is destroyed.
Parameters
executionContextId
executionContextUniqueId
string
Unique Id of the destroyed context
Runtime.bindingCalled Experimental#
Notification is issued every time when binding is called.
NOTE: When dispatching @cdp Runtime.bindingCalled notifications, we don't re-check whether the session is expecting notifications from the current context - only that it's subscribed to that binding name. Theoretically, this can result in over-sending notifications from contexts that the client no longer cares about, or never cared about to begin with (e.g. if the binding handler was installed by a previous session). // React Native intentionally replicates this behavior for the sake of bug-for-bug compatibility with Chrome, but clients should probably not rely on it.
