Transfer a MessagePort
to a different vm
Context. The original port
object will be rendered unusable, and the returned MessagePort
instance will
take its place.
The returned MessagePort
will be an object in the target context, and will
inherit from its global Object
class. Objects passed to the
port.onmessage()
listener will also be created in the target context
and inherit from its global Object
class.
However, the created MessagePort
will no longer inherit from
EventEmitter
, and only port.onmessage()
can be used to receive
events using it.
Receive a single message from a given MessagePort
. If no message is available,
undefined
is returned, otherwise an object with a single message
property
that contains the message payload, corresponding to the oldest message in the
MessagePort
’s queue.
Generated using TypeDoc
Mark an object as not transferable. If
object
occurs in the transfer list of aport.postMessage()
call, it will be ignored.In particular, this makes sense for objects that can be cloned, rather than transferred, and which are used by other objects on the sending side. For example, Node.js marks the
ArrayBuffer
s it uses for its Buffer pool with this.This operation cannot be undone.
