DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope: close() method
Note: This feature is only available in Dedicated Web Workers.
The close()
method of the DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope
interface discards any tasks queued in the DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope
's event loop, effectively closing this particular scope.
Syntax
js
close()
Parameters
None.
Return value
None (undefined
).
Examples
If you want to close your worker instance from inside the worker itself, you can call the following:
js
close();
close()
and self.close()
are effectively equivalent — both represent close()
being called from inside the worker's inner scope.
Note:
There is also a way to stop the worker from the main thread: the Worker.terminate
method.
