# WebWorker class
|
|
|
|
This class represents a [WebWorker](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API).
|
|
|
|
#### Signature:
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
export declare class WebWorker extends EventEmitter<Record<EventType, unknown>>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Extends:** [EventEmitter](./puppeteer.eventemitter.md)<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
|
|
|
|
```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());
|
|
}
|
|
```

|
| [evaluate(pageFunction, args)](./puppeteer.webworker.evaluate.md) | | If the function passed to the <code>worker.evaluate</code> returns a Promise, then <code>worker.evaluate</code> would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value. If the function passed to the <code>worker.evaluate</code> returns a non-serializable value, then <code>worker.evaluate</code> resolves to <code>undefined</code>. DevTools Protocol also supports transferring some additional values that are not serializable by <code>JSON</code>: <code>-0</code>, <code>NaN</code>, <code>Infinity</code>, <code>-Infinity</code>, and bigint literals. Shortcut for <code>await worker.executionContext()).evaluate(pageFunction, ...args)</code>. |
|
|
| [evaluateHandle(pageFunction, args)](./puppeteer.webworker.evaluatehandle.md) | | The only difference between <code>worker.evaluate</code> and <code>worker.evaluateHandle</code> is that <code>worker.evaluateHandle</code> returns in-page object (JSHandle). If the function passed to the <code>worker.evaluateHandle</code> returns a <code>Promise</code>, then <code>worker.evaluateHandle</code> would wait for the promise to resolve and return its value. Shortcut for <code>await worker.executionContext()).evaluateHandle(pageFunction, ...args)</code> |
|
|
| [url()](./puppeteer.webworker.url.md) | | The URL of this web worker. |
