read-only property of the
DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope
interface returns the name that the

the Worker()
constructor can pass to get a reference to
the DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope
.

Value
A DOMString

Example
If a worker is created using a constructor with a name
option:
var myWorker = new Worker("worker.js", { name : "myWorker" });
the DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope
will now have a name of "myWorker",
returnable by running
self.name
from inside the worker.
