Web worker API wrapper.
$ component install component/worker
Initialize a worker with the given script
.
Send a message to the worker.
var upper = new Worker('uppercase.js');
upper.on('message', function(msg){
console.log(msg.string);
});
upper.send({ string: 'hello' });
upper.send({ string: 'world' });
Send a request message to the worker with the given callback
. When
using the request/response paradigm you should pass the e.data.id
property
back with your response so that the correct callback may be invoked:
worker:
onmessage = function(e) {
setTimeout(function(){
postMessage({ id: e.data.id, string: e.data.string.toUpperCase() });
}, 500);
};
client:
upper.send({ string: 'hello' }, function(msg){
console.log(msg.string);
});
Terminate the worker.
