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.
Syntax
var nameObj = self.name;
Value
A DOMString.
Example
If a shared worker is created using a constructor with a name option:
var myWorker = new SharedWorker("worker.js", { name : "mySharedWorker" });the SharedWorkerGlobalScope will now have a name of "mySharedWorker", returnable by running
self.namefrom inside the shared worker.
