    string
    The display mode of the web app.

    • " fullScreen ", the app opens in full screen mode, hiding the device's status and navigation bars. All browser UI elements, page URL, system status bar and back button are not visible, and the web app takes up the entirety of the available display area.

    • " fullScreen "
    • " minimalUi "
    • " standalone "
