SharedWorkerGlobalScope: name property
Baseline
2026
Newly available
Since May 2026, this feature works across the latest devices and browser versions. This feature might not work in older devices or browsers.
The name read-only property of the
SharedWorkerGlobalScope interface returns the name that the
SharedWorker was (optionally) given when it was created. This is the name
that the SharedWorker() constructor can pass
to get a reference to the SharedWorkerGlobalScope.
Value
A string.
Examples
If a shared worker is created using a constructor with a name option:
js
const myWorker = new SharedWorker("worker.js", { name: "mySharedWorker" });
the SharedWorkerGlobalScope will now have a name of "mySharedWorker",
returnable by running
js
self.name;
from inside the shared worker.
