Worker extension type

@AvailableInWorkers("window_and_worker_except_service")

The Worker interface of the Web Workers API represents a background task that can be created via script, which can send messages back to its creator.

Creating a worker is done by calling the Worker("path/to/worker/script") constructor.

Workers may themselves spawn new workers, as long as those workers are hosted at the same origin as the parent page.

Note that not all interfaces and functions are available to web workers. See Functions and classes available to Web Workers for details.

Methods

addEventListener(String type, EventListener? callback, [JSAny options]) → void
The addEventListener() method of the EventTarget interface sets up a function that will be called whenever the specified event is delivered to the target.
inherited
dispatchEvent(Event event) → bool
The dispatchEvent() method of the EventTarget sends an Event to the object, (synchronously) invoking the affected event listeners in the appropriate order. The normal event processing rules (including the capturing and optional bubbling phase) also apply to events dispatched manually with dispatchEvent().
inherited
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
postMessage(JSAny? message, [JSObject optionsOrTransfer]) → void
@AvailableInWorkers("window_and_worker_except_service")
removeEventListener(String type, EventListener? callback, [JSAny options]) → void
The removeEventListener() method of the EventTarget interface removes an event listener previously registered with EventTarget.addEventListener from the target. The event listener to be removed is identified using a combination of the event type, the event listener function itself, and various optional options that may affect the matching process; see Matching event listeners for removal.
