DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope.close()
The close()
method of the DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope
interface discards any tasks queued in the DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope
's event loop, effectively closing this particular scope.
Syntax
self.close();
Example
If you want to close your worker instance from inside the worker itself, you can call the following:
close();
close()
and self.close()
are effectively equivalent — both represent close()
being called from inside the worker's inner scope.
Note: There is also a way to stop the worker from the main thread: the Worker.terminate
method.
