How do I run this inside a webworker?

it’s looking for the document inside the webworker code, presumably to check if it’s supported.

Uncaught ReferenceError: document is not defined

Is there a way of avoiding this, I would like to run the reconnectingwebsocket inside a webworker

Thanks!

i don’t know if this problem has been fixed. But you cannot access DOM in a webworker thats why you can’t use document. But there is a workaround. You can create a fake DOM in a js file the use importScripts to import the js file to your webworker.This will enable you use most DOM objects.Below is the code for the fake DOM

var document = self.document = { parentNode: null, nodeType: 9, toString: function () { return "FakeDocument" } };
var window = self.window = self;
var fakeElement = Object.create(document);
fakeElement.nodeType = 1;
fakeElement.toString = function () { return "FakeElement" };
fakeElement.parentNode = fakeElement.firstChild = fakeElement.lastChild = fakeElement;
fakeElement.ownerDocument = document;

document.head = document.body = fakeElement;
document.ownerDocument = document.documentElement = document;
document.getElementById = document.createElement = function () { return fakeElement; };
document.createDocumentFragment = function () { return this; };
document.getElementsByTagName = document.getElementsByClassName = function () { return [fakeElement]; };
document.getAttribute = document.setAttribute = document.removeChild =
    document.addEventListener = document.removeEventListener =
    function () { return null; };
document.cloneNode = document.appendChild = function () { return this; };
document.appendChild = function (child) { return child; };
document.childNodes = [];
document.implementation = {
    createHTMLDocument: function () { return document; }
}

robust-websocket runs in a webworker (it uses CustomEvent for eventing).
