UNSTABLE: New API.

Set deno.namespace to true to make Deno namespace and all of its methods available to the worker environment. Defaults to false.

Configure deno.permissions options to change the level of access the worker will have. By default it will inherit the permissions of its parent thread. The permissions of a worker can't be extended beyond its parent's permissions reach.

  • "inherit" will take the permissions of the thread the worker is created in
  • You can disable/enable permissions all together by passing a boolean
  • You can provide a list of routes relative to the file the worker is created in to limit the access of the worker (read/write permissions only)

Example:

// mod.ts
const worker = new Worker(
  new URL("deno_worker.ts", import.meta.url).href, {
    type: "module",
    deno: {
      namespace: true,
      permissions: {
        read: true,
      },
    },
  }
);
