## Class: IpcMainServiceWorker
> Communicate asynchronously from the main process to service workers.
Process: [Main](../glossary.md#main-process)
> [!NOTE]
> This API is a subtle variation of [`IpcMain`](ipc-main.md)—targeted for
> communicating with service workers. For communicating with web frames,
> consult the `IpcMain` documentation.

### Instance Methods
#### `ipcMainServiceWorker.on(channel, listener)`
* `channel` string
* `listener` Function
* `event` [IpcMainServiceWorkerEvent][ipc-main-service-worker-event]
* `...args` any[]
Listens to `channel`, when a new message arrives `listener` would be called with
`listener(event, args...)`.
#### `ipcMainServiceWorker.once(channel, listener)`
* `channel` string
* `listener` Function
* `event` [IpcMainServiceWorkerEvent][ipc-main-service-worker-event]
* `...args` any[]
Adds a one time `listener` function for the event. This `listener` is invoked
only the next time a message is sent to `channel`, after which it is removed.
#### `ipcMainServiceWorker.removeListener(channel, listener)`
* `channel` string
* `listener` Function
* `...args` any[]
Removes the specified `listener` from the listener array for the specified
`channel`.
#### `ipcMainServiceWorker.removeAllListeners([channel])`
* `channel` string (optional)
Removes listeners of the specified `channel`.
#### `ipcMainServiceWorker.handle(channel, listener)`
* `channel` string
* `listener` Function\<Promise\<any\> | any\>
* `event` [IpcMainServiceWorkerInvokeEvent][ipc-main-service-worker-invoke-event]
* `...args` any[]
#### `ipcMainServiceWorker.handleOnce(channel, listener)`
* `channel` string
* `listener` Function\<Promise\<any\> | any\>
* `event` [IpcMainServiceWorkerInvokeEvent][ipc-main-service-worker-invoke-event]
* `...args` any[]
Handles a single `invoke`able IPC message, then removes the listener. See
`ipcMainServiceWorker.handle(channel, listener)`.
#### `ipcMainServiceWorker.removeHandler(channel)`
* `channel` string
Removes any handler for `channel`, if present.
