workers.ts

Simple proxy which runs methods in a web-worker, async and strongly-typed

Usage

Include workers.ts in your project

Make any class you wish to proxy extend Workers.Host, and call registerWorker to track.

 export class CalculatorWorker extends Workers.Host {
     add(x: number, y: number) {
            return x + y;
      }
 }

CalculatorWorker.registerWorker();

Anywhere in your code call createClient to create a proxy:

let calc = CalculatorWorker.createClient()
let result = await calc.add(2, 2)

When you are done, call dispose() to shut down the worker
```
calc.dispose();
```

You can use importScripts in the class to pull in additional files your class needs, or use a module loader.

All method parameters, and return types are promises and are strongly typed.

You can use fields to maintain internal state in the class, but these are not reflected in the proxy.

The type function is:

Proxy(f(x) -> y) = f(x) -> Promise<y>
Proxy(f(x) -> Promise<y>) = f(x) -> Promise<y>
