If the current context is a worker, the workerStart property returns a timestamp immediately before the worker that fetches the resource is started. If the context is not a worker (i.e. a browser context), this property returns zero.
This property is Read only .
Syntax
resource.workerStart;
Return value
If the current context is a worker, returns the DOMHighResTimeStamp immediately before the worker is started that fetches the resource; otherwise, the timestamp is zero.
Example
In the following example, the value of the *Start and *End properties of all "resource" type events are logged.
function print_PerformanceEntries() {
// Use getEntriesByType() to just get the "resource" events
var p = performance.getEntriesByType("resource");
for (var i=0; i < p.length; i++) {
print_start_and_end_properties(p[i]);
}
}
function print_start_and_end_properties(perfEntry) {
// Print timestamps of the PerformanceEntry *start and *end properties
properties = ["connectStart", "connectEnd",
"domainLookupStart", "domainLookupEnd",
"fetchStart",
"redirectStart", "redirectEnd",
"requestStart",
"responseStart", "responseEnd",
"secureConnectionStart",
"workerStart"];
for (var i=0; i < properties.length; i++) {
// check each property
var supported = properties[i] in perfEntry;
if (supported) {
var value = perfEntry[properties[i]];
console.log("... " + properties[i] + " = " + value);
} else {
console.log("... " + properties[i] + " = NOT supported");
}
}
}
