Usage

Here's a quick example of how to use Threadosaurus:

import { CreateThreadosaurus } from 'threadosaurus';
import SampleWorkerThreadClass from './SampleWorkerThreadClass';

const worker = CreateThreadosaurus(SampleWorkerThreadClass);
console.log(await worker.greet('LJ and NJ'));

In SampleWorkerThreadClass.ts:

import { Threadosaurus } from 'threadosaurus';

export default class SampleWorkerThreadClass implements Threadosaurus {
    async greet(name: string): Promise<string> {
        return Promise.resolve(`Hello ${name} from worker thread!`);
    }

    get__filename(): string {
        return __filename;
    }
}

Restrictions

When using Threadosaurus, please keep the following limitations in mind:

• The worker class must implement the Threadosaurus interface.
• The worker class must be the default export.
• The worker class cannot accept constructor arguments.
• The worker class will not retain member variables across method calls from the main thread.
• All methods in the worker class must be asynchronous.
• All method arguments in the worker class must be worker threads compatible types. More here.
• It is recommended to design your class methods as pure functions for better predictability.
