Use navigator.vibrate() from a user-triggered event to request a short vibration: pass a number for one pulse or an array for alternating vibration and pause intervals. Check that the method exists, provide a way to stop a pattern, and treat vibration as optional because browser support and device settings vary.

Trigger a vibration from a button

Attach the call to a user action such as a button click. This is more reliable than trying to start vibration automatically: the API requires user activation, and the current W3C draft also says the call returns false when the document is not visible.

<button id="buzz">Try vibration</button>
<button id="stop">Stop</button>
<script>
  const buzzButton = document.querySelector("#buzz");
  const stopButton = document.querySelector("#stop");

  buzzButton.addEventListener("click", () => {
    if ("vibrate" in navigator) {
      navigator.vibrate([200, 100, 200]);
    }
  });

  stopButton.addEventListener("click", () => {
    if ("vibrate" in navigator) {
      navigator.vibrate(0);
    }
  });
</script>

The feature check avoids calling a missing method, but it does not confirm that a device has vibration hardware or that its settings allow vibration. The MDN Navigator.vibrate() reference documents the method and its behavior.

Choose a vibration pattern

Durations are in milliseconds. A single number requests one pulse; an array alternates vibration and pause durations, beginning with vibration.

Elebase USB to USB C Adapter for iPhone 18 Pro Max,USBC Car Charger Adapter
  • Read Before You Buy — No Video Output: These adapters support charging and USB 2.0 data transfer, but cannot transmit video signals. Except for standard USB webcams (which use USB data only), they are not compatible with HDMI/DisplayPort cables, video-capable USB-C hubs, or docking stations with video output.
  • Convert USB-A Ports to USB-C: Designed to connect USB-C earphones, cables, flash drives, card readers, and other USB-C accessories to standard USB-A ports. Plug-and-play with no drivers or software required.
  • Aluminum Alloy Housing: Built with a sturdy aluminum alloy shell that aids in heat dissipation and protects against daily wear and scratches. Designed to maintain a stable and secure connection.
  • Compact & Travel-Friendly: The ultra-compact design allows the adapter to stay plugged into your device without blocking adjacent ports or adding bulk, reducing wear and tear on your original USB ports.
  • 12-Month Warranty: Backed by a 12-month manufacturer warranty for peace of mind. Designed to meet strict quality control standards for reliable everyday performance.
Code Requested pattern
navigator.vibrate(200) One 200 ms vibration
navigator.vibrate([200, 100, 200]) Vibrate for 200 ms, pause for 100 ms, then vibrate for 200 ms

A trailing pause is unnecessary because vibration ends when the final pulse ends. Implementations may limit or truncate patterns, so do not assume a long sequence will run exactly as requested.

Stop or replace a running pattern

Call navigator.vibrate(0) to cancel. An empty array or an array containing only zeros is also a documented cancellation form. Calling navigator.vibrate() with a new pattern stops the existing pattern and starts the new one.

Check support and interpret the result carefully

Browser support is uneven. MDN labels the API “Limited availability” and “not Baseline.” The W3C Vibration API Editor’s Draft reports implementation in Chromium-based browsers, records WebKit’s opposition to the specification, and notes that Firefox removed its implementation in version 129. MDN’s Navigator compatibility data lists Safari as unsupported and includes user-gesture and cross-origin iframe restrictions for Chromium versions.

Before depending on the feature, test the actual browser, operating system, embedding context, and device. Silent or Do Not Disturb settings, platform vibration controls, or missing hardware can prevent a physical effect even when the method exists.

The method returns a boolean, but that value is not dependable proof that someone felt a vibration. Invalid parameters can return false; accepted calls can still have no physical effect, and patterns may be constrained by the implementation.

Use vibration as optional feedback

The W3C draft defines this as an API for simple tactile feedback, not fine-grained haptic control. It states: “This API is not meant to be used as a generic notification mechanism.” Keep patterns brief and purposeful, and use visible or audible feedback as well whenever the information matters. Never make vibration the sole way to communicate an essential status.
