DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope: name property

Note: This feature is only available in Dedicated Web Workers.

The name read-only property of the DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope interface returns the name that the Worker was (optionally) given when it was created. This is the name that the Worker() constructor can pass to get a reference to the DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope.

Value

A string.

Examples

If a worker is created using a constructor with a name option:

js
const myWorker = new Worker("worker.js", { name: "myWorker" });

the DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope will now have a name of "myWorker", returnable by running

js
self.name;

from inside the worker.
