Properties

native

readonly native: NativeMessagePort<Output, Input>;

Defined in: packages/common/src/Worker.ts:72

The native underlying port for transferring via postMessage.

Example

sharedWorker.port.postMessage(
  { type: "InitConsole", port: consoleChannel.port1.native },
  [consoleChannel.port1.native],
);

Inherited from

MessagePort.native

onMessage

onMessage: ((message: Input) => void) | null;

Defined in: packages/common/src/Worker.ts:58

Handler for incoming messages. Messages are queued until this is assigned, matching native MessagePort behavior where setting onmessage implicitly calls start(). This enables safe async initialization — the sender can post messages immediately while the receiver sets up.

Inherited from

MessagePort.onMessage

postMessage

readonly postMessage: (message: Output, transfer?: readonly Transferable[]) => void;

Defined in: packages/common/src/Worker.ts:47
