ThreadJS is a simple convinience wrapper on top of web workers. It allows you to launch a web worker without creating a separate javascript file. You just write your thread method and (optionally) pass custom parameters.
Import the library using:
<script src="Thread.js"></script>var thread = new Thread(function (customArgs) {
//Code here will be executed in a web worker.
//You can use postMessage to send data back to main thread, just like plain web workers.
});
//Optionally handle onmessage & onerror to receive data and error from thread.
thread.onmessage = function(e) {
console.log('Received message: ' + e.data);
}
thread.onerror = function(e) {
console.log('Error: ' + e.message);
}
var custom_args = { test: [1,2,3] };
//Start thread passing optional custom parameters
thread.start(custom_args);
//You can stop the thread at any time using the stop method
thread.stop()An example resides in Example.htm
