channel method

@Deprecated('Please use MessagePorts from package:web instead of those from dart:html. ' 'This extension will be removed from drift once `dart:html` is removed ' 'from the SDK.') StreamChannel<Object?> channel({ bool explicitClose = false, })

Converts this port to a two-way communication channel, exposed as a StreamChannel.

This can be used to implement a remote database connection over service workers.

The explicitClose parameter can be used to control whether a close message should be sent through the channel when it is closed. This will cause it to be closed on the other end as well. Note that this is not a reliable way of determining channel closures though, as there is no event for channels being closed due to a tab or worker being closed. Both "ends" of a JS channel calling channel on their part must use the value for explicitClose.
