{{APIRef("Web Workers API")}}{{AvailableInWorkers("worker")}}
The read-only location property of the {{domxref("WorkerGlobalScope")}} interface returns the {{domxref("WorkerLocation")}} associated with the worker. It is a specific location object, mostly a subset of the {{domxref("Location")}} for browsing scopes, but adapted to workers.
A {{domxref("WorkerLocation")}} object.
If you called the following in a document served at localhost:8000
console.log(location);
inside a worker (which would basically be the equivalent of self.console.log(self.location);, as these are being called on the worker scope, which can be referenced with {{domxref("WorkerGlobalScope.self")}}), you will get a {{domxref("WorkerLocation")}} object written to the console — something like the following:
WorkerLocation {hash: "", search: "", pathname: "/worker.js", port: "8000", hostname: "localhost"…}
hash: ""
host: "localhost:8000"
hostname: "localhost"
href: "http://localhost:8000/worker.js"
origin: "http://localhost:8000"
pathname: "/worker.js"
port: "8000"
protocol: "http:"
search: ""
__proto__: WorkerLocation
You could use this location object to return more information about the document's location, as you might do with a normal {{domxref("Location")}} object.
[!NOTE] Firefox has a bug with using
console.loginside shared/service workers (see Firefox bug 1058644), which may return strange results, but this should be fixed soon.
