WorkerGlobalScope
The WorkerGlobalScope interface of the Web Workers API is an interface representing the scope of any worker. Workers have no browsing context; this scope contains the information usually conveyed by Window objects — in this case event handlers, the console or the associated WorkerNavigator object. Each WorkerGlobalScope has its own event loop.
This interface is usually specialized by each worker type: DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope for dedicated workers, SharedWorkerGlobalScope for shared workers, and ServiceWorkerGlobalScope for ServiceWorker. The self property returns the specialized scope for each context.

Concrete methods
The close() method of the WorkerGlobalScope interface discards any tasks queued in the WorkerGlobalScope's event loop, effectively closing this particular scope.

The importScripts() method of the WorkerGlobalScope interface imports one or more scripts into the worker's scope.

The location read-only property of the WorkerGlobalScope interface returns the WorkerLocation associated with the worker. It is a specific location object, mostly a subset of the Location for browsing scopes, but adapted to workers.

The self read-only property of the WorkerGlobalScope interface returns a reference to the WorkerGlobalScope itself. Most of the time it is a specific scope like DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope, SharedWorkerGlobalScope, or ServiceWorkerGlobalScope.

Inherited methods
The EventTarget.addEventListener() method registers the specified listener on the EventTarget it's called on. The event target may be an Element in a document, the Document itself, a Window, or any other object that supports events (such as XMLHttpRequest).

Enqueues a microtask—a short function to be executed after execution of the JavaScript code completes and control isn't being returned to a JavaScript caller, but before handling callbacks and other tasks.
Enqueues a microtask—a short function to be executed after execution of the JavaScript code completes and control isn't being returned to a JavaScript caller, but before handling callbacks and other tasks.
This lets your code run without interfering with other, possibly higher priority, code, but before the browser runtime regains control, potentially depending upon the work you need to complete.
