DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope: name property
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
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.
