BroadcastChannel: close() method
Available in workers
The close() method of the BroadcastChannel interface terminates the connection to
the underlying channel, allowing the object to be garbage collected.
This is a necessary step to perform
as there is no other way for a browser to know
that this channel is not needed anymore.
Syntax
close()
Parameters
None.
Return value
None (undefined).
Examples
// Connect to a channel
const bc = new BroadcastChannel("test_channel");
// More operations (like postMessage, …)
// When done, disconnect from the channel
bc.close();
