ts-worker v1.0.3

:construction_worker: ts-worker

A simple shorthand to use Node worker_threads.

For now there is only support for ts-node.

Why?

Typescript still doesn't offer worker_threads support. To use them, you need to call a .js file to register on ts-node and then from this file call the .ts worker. To decrease verbosity you can use this package.

Usage

  npm install ts-worker

• Import:

const TSWorker = require('ts-worker');

• ES6:

import TSWorker from 'ts-worker';

Instantiating a Worker

import { Worker } from 'worker_threads'; // Just for typechecking
import TSWorker from 'ts-worker';

const worker: Worker = TSWorker('worker.ts', {
  workerData: {
    foo: 'bar'
  }
});

worker.on('message', msg => console.log(msg));
