This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.

The origin read-only property of the ServiceWorkerMessageEvent interface returns the origin of the service worker's environment settings object.

Syntax

var myOrigin = ServiceWorkerMessageEventInstance.origin;

Value

A DOMString.

Examples

When the following code is used inside the main thread to set up a message channel between it and a service worker for sending messages between the two, the event object of onmessage will be a ServiceWorkerMessageEvent.

JavaScript
navigator.serviceWorker.ready.then(function(reg) {  

  ...

      // set up a message channel to communicate with the SW
      var channel = new MessageChannel();
      channel.port1.onmessage = function(e) {
        console.log(e.origin);
        handleChannelMessage(e.data);
      }
      
      mySW = reg.active;
      mySW.postMessage('hello', [channel.port2]);
  });
