# WebWorker class
This class represents a [WebWorker](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API).
#### Signature:
```typescript
export declare abstract class WebWorker extends EventEmitter<Record<EventType, unknown>>
```
**Extends:** [EventEmitter](./puppeteer.eventemitter.md)&lt;Record&lt;[EventType](./puppeteer.eventtype.md), unknown&gt;&gt;
## 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
```ts
page.on('workercreated', worker =>
console.log('Worker created: ' + worker.url())
);
page.on('workerdestroyed', worker =>
console.log('Worker destroyed: ' + worker.url())
);
console.log('Current workers:');
for (const worker of page.workers()) {
console.log(' ' + worker.url());
}
```
