Returns a MessagePort object used to communicate with and control the shared worker.
Registers an event handler of a specific event type on the EventTarget
Disconnects the port, so it is no longer active.
Clones message and transmits it to worker's global environment. transfer can be passed as a list of objects that are to be transferred rather than cloned.
Removes an event listener from the EventTarget.
Starts the sending of messages queued on the port (only needed when using EventTarget.addEventListener; it is implied when using MessagePort.onmessage.)

Generated using TypeDoc
A polyfill class for
SharedWorker, it accepts a URL/string as well as any other options the spec. allows forSharedWorker. It supports all the same methods and properties as the original, except it adds compatibility methods and properties for older browsers that don't supportSharedWorker, so, it can switch to normalWorkersinstead.
