kefir-webworker

Map a Kefir stream to a WebWorker

Getting started

Install using bower or npm

  bower install kefir-webworker
  npm install kefir-webworker

Usage

User mapWithWorker in your main javascript:

Kefir.emitter()
	.mapWithWorker(new Worker('echo-worker-bundle.js'))
	.log('web-worker');

emitter.emit('hello');
emitter.error('oh no!');

Use Kefir.fromMessage and toMessage in your webworker:

// Make sure you include Kefir and kefir-webworker:
var Kefir = require('kefir');
require('kefir-webworker');

Kefir
	.fromMessage()   	// Create stream from incoming messages
	.delay(1000)
	.toMessage();		// Post messages back to main javascript

Creating a webworker javascript file

You have to bundle your code (i.e. example/echo-worker.js) with Kefir and kefir-webworker.

In the example, I am using webpack to bundle the files:

npm install # install dependencies
npm install webpack -g
webpack --entry ./example/echo-worker --output-file ./example/echo-worker-bundle.js
