The read-onlylocation property of theWorkerGlobalScope interface returns theWorkerLocation associated with the worker. It is a specific location object, mostly a subset of theLocation for browsing scopes, but adapted to workers.

Value

AWorkerLocation object.

Examples

If you called the following in a document served atlocalhost:8000

console.log(location);

inside a worker (which would basically be the equivalent ofself.console.log(self.location);, as these are being called on the worker scope, which can be referenced withWorkerGlobalScope.self), you will get aWorkerLocation 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 normalLocation object.
