SharedWorker: port property
The port
property of the SharedWorker
interface returns a MessagePort
object used to communicate and control
the shared worker.
Value
A MessagePort
object.
Examples
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:
js
const myWorker = new SharedWorker("worker.js");
myWorker.port.start();
For a full example, see our Basic shared worker example (run shared worker.)
