Worker.terminate()
The terminate() method of the Worker interface immediately terminates the Worker. This does not offer the worker an opportunity to finish its operations; it is stopped at once.
Syntax
myWorker.terminate();
Parameters
None.
Returns
Void.
Example
The following code snippet shows creation of a Worker object using the Worker() constructor, which is then immediately terminated.
var myWorker = new Worker('worker.js'); myWorker.terminate();
