shadow-worker

Use the performance capabilities of web worker in the browser to avoid blocking the main thread

Usage:

npm i shadow-worker #or
npm install shadow-worker --save

Example:

async/await

import { compute } from 'shadow-worker';

await compute( ()=> ([1,2,3,4].map( x => x * 2)) );
// [2,4,6,8]

const fn = arr => arr.map(x=>x*2)

await compute(fn,[1,2,3,4]);
// [2,4,6,8]

// # debug options 
await compute(fn,[1,2,3,4],{label:'fn',printScript:true});
// data:text/javascript;charset=UTF-8,onmessage=(()=>({data})=>postMessage((arr => {arr.map(x=>x*2)})(data)))(postMessage);
// fn: 16.487060546875ms
// [2, 4, 6, 8]

Promise then

import { compute } from 'shadow-worker';

compute( ()=> ([1,2,3,4].map( x => x * 2)) ).then(console.log);
// [2, 4, 6, 8]

Browser test

API:

compute()

/**
 * You can easily use `web worker`.
 * Using `web worker` is as easy as using a function, as natural as breathing.
 * The function will `dynamically` help you generate functions that communicate with the worker channel
 * It will be automatically closed when you are finished, so you don't have to worry about the performance problems.
 *
 * @template T
 * @param {(value?: T) => T} callback Function used for `calculation`
 * @param {T} [value] Parameters used for calculation
 * @param {debugOptions} [options={}] Debug option label:`string`,printScript:`boolean`
 * @returns {(Promise<T> | T)} Calculated result
 */

Note: Just in browser node.js side can't use

TODO

• [ ] add test case
