具体的なウェブワーカーのユースケース

// scripts.js

// Register the Exif reader web worker:
const exifWorker = new Worker('/js/with-worker/exif-worker.js');

// We have to send image requests through this proxy due to CORS limitations:
const imageFetchPrefix = 'https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/fetch/';

// Necessary elements we need to select:
const imageFetchPanel = document.getElementById('image-fetch');
const imageExifDataPanel = document.getElementById('image-exif-data');
const exifDataPanel = document.getElementById('exif-data');
const imageInput = document.getElementById('image-url');

// What to do when the form is submitted.
document.getElementById('image-form').addEventListener('submit', event => {
  // Don't let the form submit by default:
  event.preventDefault();

  // Send the image URL to the web worker on submit:
  exifWorker.postMessage(`${imageFetchPrefix}${imageInput.value}`);
});

// This listens for the Exif metadata to come back from the web worker:
exifWorker.addEventListener('message', ({ data }) => {
  // This populates the Exif metadata viewer:
  exifDataPanel.innerHTML = data.message;
  imageFetchPanel.style.display = 'none';
  imageExifDataPanel.style.display = 'block';
});

// exif-worker.js

// Import the exif-reader script:
importScripts('/js/with-worker/exifreader.js');

// Set up a messaging pipeline to send the Exif data to the `window`:
self.addEventListener('message', ({ data }) => {
  getExifDataFromImage(data).then(status => {
    self.postMessage(status);
  });
});

// Takes a blob to transform the image data into an `ArrayBuffer`:
// NOTE: these promises are simplified for readability, and don't include
// rejections on failures. Check out the complete web worker code:
// https://chrome.dev/learn-performance-exif-worker/js/with-worker/exif-worker.js
const readBlobAsArrayBuffer = blob => new Promise(resolve => {
  const reader = new FileReader();

  reader.onload = () => {
    resolve(reader.result);
  };

  reader.readAsArrayBuffer(blob);
});

// Takes the Exif metadata and converts it to a markup string to
// display in the Exif metadata viewer in the DOM:
const exifToMarkup = exif => Object.entries(exif).map(([exifNode, exifData]) => {
  return `
    <details>
      <summary>
        <h2>${exifNode}</h2>
      </summary>
      <p>${exifNode === 'base64' ? `<img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,${exifData}">` : typeof exifData.value === 'undefined' ? exifData : exifData.description || exifData.value}</p>
    </details>
  `;
}).join('');

// Fetches a partial image and gets its Exif data
const getExifDataFromImage = imageUrl => new Promise(resolve => {
  fetch(imageUrl, {
    headers: {
      // Use a range request to only download the first 64 KiB of an image.
      // This ensures bandwidth isn't wasted by downloading what may be a huge
      // JPEG file when all that's needed is the metadata.
      'Range': `bytes=0-${2 ** 10 * 64}`
    }
  }).then(response => {
    if (response.ok) {
      return response.clone().blob();
    }
  }).then(responseBlob => {
    readBlobAsArrayBuffer(responseBlob).then(arrayBuffer => {
      const tags = ExifReader.load(arrayBuffer, {
        expanded: true
      });

      resolve({
        status: true,
        message: Object.values(tags).map(tag => exifToMarkup(tag)).join('')
