comlink-loader

? comlink-loader ?

Offload modules to Worker threads seamlessly using Comlink.

Features

  • Offload almost any module into a Worker with little or no usage change
  • Supports arbitrary classes, objects & functions (await new Foo())
  • Works beautifully with async/await
  • Built-in code-splitting: workers are lazy-loaded

Installation

npm install -D comlink-loader

Usage

The goal of comlink-loader is to make the fact that a module is running inside a Worker nearly transparent to the developer.

In the example below, the sole difference between running MyClass on a Worker thread instead of the main thread is that instantiation and method calls must be prefixed with await. This is required because Worker interactions are inherently asynchronous.

my-class.js: (gets moved into a worker)

// Dependencies get bundled into the worker:
import rnd from 'random-int';

// Export as you would in a normal module:
export class MyClass {
  constructor(value = rnd()) {
    this.value = value;
  }
  increment() {
    this.value++;
  }
  // Tip: async functions make the interface identical
  async getValue() {
    return this.value;
  }
}

main.js: (our demo, on the main thread)

import { MyClass } from 'comlink-loader!./my-class';

const inst = await new MyClass(42); // notice the await

await inst.increment();

await inst.foo();  // 43
