The error event of the SharedWorker interface fires when an error occurs in the worker.

js
addEventListener("error", (event) => { })
onerror = (event) => { }
Event type
A generic Event.
Example
The following code snippet creates a SharedWorker object using the SharedWorker() constructor and sets up an onerror handler on the resulting object:
js
const mySharedWorker = new SharedWorker("shared-worker.js");
mySharedWorker.onerror = (event) => {
console.error("There is an error with your worker!");
};
