💖 Using Webpack? You want workerize-loader ➡️

workerize

Workerize npm travis

Moves a module into a Web Worker, automatically reflecting exported functions as asynchronous proxies.

  • Bundles a tiny, purpose-built RPC implementation into your app
  • If exported module methods are already async, signature is unchanged
  • Supports synchronous and asynchronous worker functions
  • Works beautifully with async/await
  • Just 800 bytes of gzipped ES3

Install

npm install --save workerize

Usage

Pass either a function or a string containing code.

worker.js:

let worker = workerize(` export function add(a, b) { // block for half a second to demonstrate asynchronicity let start = Date.now(); while (Date.now()-start < 500); return a + b; } `); (async () => { console.log('3 + 9 = ', await worker.add(3, 9)); console.log('1 + 2 = ', await worker.add(1, 2)); })();
