WorkerOptions

interface WorkerOptions

• argv?: any[]

  List of arguments which would be stringified and appended to Bun.argv / process.argv in the worker. This is mostly similar to the data but the values will be available on the global Bun.argv as if they were passed as CLI options to the script.

• credentials?: RequestCredentials

  In Bun, this does nothing.

• env?: Record<string, string> | typeof SHARE_ENV

  If set, specifies the initial value of process.env inside the Worker thread. As a special value, worker.SHARE_ENV may be used to specify that the parent thread and the child thread should share their environment variables; in that case, changes to one thread's process.env object affect the other thread as well. Default: process.env.

• name?: string

  A string specifying an identifying name for the DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope representing the scope of the worker, which is mainly useful for debugging purposes.

• preload?: string | string[]

  An array of module specifiers to preload in the worker.

  These modules load before the worker's entry point is executed.

  Equivalent to passing the --preload CLI argument, but only for this Worker.

• ref?: boolean

  When true, the worker will keep the parent thread alive until the worker is terminated or unref'd. When false, the worker will not keep the parent thread alive.

  By default, this is false.

• smol?: boolean

  Use less memory, but make the worker slower.

  Internally, this sets the heap size configuration in JavaScriptCore to be the small heap instead of the large heap.

• type?: WorkerType

  In Bun, this does nothing.
