@types/sharedworker v0.0.153

@types/sharedworker - Types for the global scope of Web Workers

The SharedWorker interface represents a specific kind of worker that can be accessed from several browsing contexts, such as several windows, iframes or even workers. They implement an interface different than dedicated workers and have a different global scope, SharedWorkerGlobalScope.

From MDN Web Docs: SharedWorker API

This package contains type definitions which will set up the global environment for your TypeScript project to match the runtime environment of a Web Worker. The APIs inside @types/sharedworker are generated from the specifications for JavaScript.

Installation

To use @types/sharedworker you need to do two things:

1. Install the dependency: npm install @types/sharedworker --save-dev, yarn add @types/sharedworker --dev or pnpm add @types/sharedworker --dev.

2. Update your tsconfig.json to avoid clashing with the DOM APIs. There are two cases to consider depending on if you have lib defined in your tsconfig.json or not.

   1. Without "lib" - You will need to add "lib": []. The value you want to add inside your lib should correlate to your "target". For example if you had "target": "es2017", then you would add "lib": ["es2017"]
   2. With "lib" - You should remove "dom".

If you'd like to ensure that the DOM types are never accidentally included, you can use @orta/types-noop in TypeScript 4.5+.

SemVer

This project does not respect semantic versioning as almost every change could potentially break a project, though we try to minimize removing types.

@types/sharedworker follow the specifications, so when they mark a function/object/API/type as deprecated or removed - that is respected.
