The port
property of the SharedWorker
interface returns a MessagePort
object used to communicate and control the shared worker.
Syntax
myWorker.port;
Value
A MessagePort
object.
Example
The following code snippet shows creation of a SharedWorker
object using the SharedWorker()
constructor. Multiple scripts can then access the worker through a MessagePort
object accessed using the SharedWorker.port
property — the port is started using its start()
method:
var myWorker = new SharedWorker('worker.js'); myWorker.port.start();
For a full example, see our Basic shared worker example (run shared worker.)
