WebWorker.evaluate() method

If the function passed to the worker.evaluate returns a Promise, then worker.evaluate would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value. If the function passed to the worker.evaluate returns a non-serializable value, then worker.evaluate resolves to undefined. DevTools Protocol also supports transferring some additional values that are not serializable by JSON: -0, NaN, Infinity, -Infinity, and bigint literals. Shortcut for await worker.executionContext()).evaluate(pageFunction, ...args).

class WebWorker {
evaluate<
Params extends unknown[],
Func extends EvaluateFunc<Params> = EvaluateFunc<Params>,
>(
pageFunction: Func | string,
...args: Params
): Promise<Awaited<ReturnType<Func>>>;
}

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
pageFunctionFunc | stringFunction to be evaluated in the worker context.
