WorkerGlobalScope.importScripts()
The importScripts()
method of the WorkerGlobalScope
interface synchronously imports one or more scripts into the worker's scope.
Syntax
self.importScripts('foo.js');
self.importScripts('foo.js', 'bar.js', ...);
Parameters
A comma-separated list of DOMString
objects representing the scripts to be imported. These paths are relative to html document base URL.
Return value
None.
Exceptions
NetworkError
- Imported scripts were not served with a valid JavaScript MIME type (i.e.
text/javascript
).
Example
If you had some functionality written in a separate script called foo.js
that you wanted to use inside worker.js, you could import it using the following line:
importScripts('foo.js');
importScripts()
and self.importScripts()
are effectively equivalent — both represent importScripts()
being called from inside the worker's inner scope.
