Companion repository for talk/workshop at Houston React Meetup

Web Workers and React

Welcome! 🎉 This is the companion repository for my talk on using the Web Workers API within your React application.

Requirements

• Git
• Node.js 10.x.x+
• NPM or Yarn

Getting started

If you want to code along with the workshop portion of the talk, you will need to clone this repository on your machine. If you want to commit changes and play around with the code as much as you want, fork the repo and clone your fork instead--you may want to set this repo as your upstream so that you can pull any new changes.

To clone, run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/mvasigh/web-workers-react.git
cd web-workers-react 

Repository structure

This repository consists of two applications:

• "Vanilla" JS Web Workers Example
• React Web Workers Example

Installing dependencies

It is recommended that you install dependencies for each of these applications before the workshop in case there are difficulties with WiFi. Simply run npm install or yarn in each of the two directories to install any necessary depencencies:

cd vanilla-app
npm install

cd ../react-app
npm install
