WebWorker class

This class represents a WebWorker.

Extends: EventEmitter<Record<EventType, unknown>>

Remarks

The events workercreated and workerdestroyed are emitted on the page object to signal the worker lifecycle.

The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the WebWorker class.

Example

page.on('workercreated', worker =>
  console.log('Worker created: ' + worker.url())
);
page.on('workerdestroyed', worker =>
  console.log('Worker destroyed: ' + worker.url())
