is there a way to create SharedWorker that loads the source from another site?

Question

Say my html file is from http://foo.com/index.html, in it, there's a <script> tag to http://bar.com/bar.js. In bar.js, I want to start a SharedWorker where the url is http://bar.com/worker.js. Is there a way to achieve this (maybe something like jsonp)?

Answer 1

This is a solution I found:

• Write the script inside a function (can be an inner function)
• get the text using function.toString() (removing the function declaration and closing brace)
• append the text to a BlobBuilder and get the blob
• Use window.URL.createObjectURL to convert the blob to a url
• use that url for the worker
