SharedWorker constructor, Worker URL

💻 Code

new SharedWorker(new URL(""));

🙁 Actual behavior

SharedWorker constructor only accepts string but not URL.

[ts] Argument of type 'URL' is not assignable to parameter of type 'string'.

🙂 Expected behavior

SharedWorker constructor should accept string or URL like Worker 28397

Since webpack changed its supported syntax for Worker initialization to pass a URL, which also applies to SharedWorker, this missing type became more relevant.

This was fixed starting from v4.4.4
Works for me

const worker = new SharedWorker(new URL('./worker.ts', import.meta.url), {
  type: "module",
});
