WorkerGlobalScope: location property
The location
read-only property of the WorkerGlobalScope
interface returns the WorkerLocation
associated with the worker. It is a specific location object, mostly a subset of the Location
for browsing scopes, but adapted to workers.
Value
A WorkerLocation
object.
Examples
If you called the following in a document served at localhost:8000
js
console.log(location);
inside a worker (which would basically be the equivalent of self.console.log(self.location);
, as these are being called on the worker scope, which can be referenced with WorkerGlobalScope.self
), you will get a WorkerLocation
object written to the console — something like the following:
WorkerLocation {hash: "", search: "", pathname: "/worker.js", port: "8000", hostname: "localhost"…} hash: "" host: "localhost:8000" hostname: "localhost" href: "http://localhost:8000/worker.js" origin: "http://localhost:8000" pathname: "/worker.js" port: "8000" protocol: "http:" search: "" __proto__: WorkerLocation
You could use this location object to return more information about the document's location, as you might do with a normal Location
object.
Note: Firefox has a bug with using console.log
inside shared/service workers (see Webkit bug 1058644), which may return strange results, but this should be fixed soon.
