The terminate() method of the Worker interface immediately terminates the Worker. This does not offer the worker an opportunity to finish its operations; it is simply stopped at once.
Syntax
myWorker.terminate();
Parameters
None.
Returns
Void.
Example
The following code snippet shows creation of a Worker object using the Worker() constructor, which is then immediately terminated.
var myWorker = new Worker("worker.js");
myWorker.terminate();
