[WebAPI Request] SharedWorker API Request

[switch-to-gitlab]

Hello,

I am working with a not-thread-safe library and so I have to use SharedWorkers.

JavaScript Sample of WebAPI You Wish to Use

const myWorker = new SharedWorker("worker.js");

MDN Link to the Involved Function or Interfaces

MDN Documentation Link: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SharedWorker

Thank you for maintaining this project. It is important!

Hi there, thank you for opening this issue.
Are you interested in contributing these bindings?
If so, I can give you some pointers to get started!

[switch-to-gitlab]

@nojaf Yeah I could use a hand. This sounds like a silly question, but when I run the code generator... where is tmp folder with the generated files (ref)?

I see a generated folder... is that it?

[switch-to-gitlab]

@nojaf Update: wait there's a tmp directory in the root... but if that's it I definitely did something wrong--there doesn't appear to be anything in there that looks like the SharedWorker I'm trying to generate.

Hello, try uncommenting

experimental-rescript-webapi/tools/TypeScript-DOM-lib-generator/src/build.ts

Lines 323 to 328 in 79e60ba

	// emitFlavor(webidl, new Set(knownTypes.Worker), {
	// name: "sharedworker",
	// global: ["SharedWorker", "Worker"],
	// outputFolder,
	// useIteratorObject,
	// });

Then you need to update const windowInterface = allInterfaces.find((i) => i.name === "WindowOrWorkerGlobalScope");

I would add

  await fs.writeFile(
    path.join(outputFolder, "sharedworker.json"),
    JSON.stringify(webidl, null, 2),
  );

somewhere, so you have an idea what is present.

Forgive me, but

Then you need to update const windowInterface = allInterfaces.find((i) => i.name === "WindowOrWorkerGlobalScope");

Where does this go?

[nojaf]

No worries, I was referring to

experimental-rescript-webapi/tools/TypeScript-DOM-lib-generator/src/build/emitter.ts

Lines 1570 to 1571 in 79e60ba

	const windowInterface = allInterfaces.find((i) => i.name === "Window");
	if (!windowInterface) throw new Error("Window interface not found");

This will help generate the Global bindings. What is globally available will be different in your SharedWorker context.
