Drastically simplified worker threads, on node v8 or v10 without --experimental-worker just
wraps your code with a promise so you don't have to warry about a thing, just use thread it and it will use workers where can.
Choose any sync module from npm and instead of require use threadIt.
Caution: not all data types can be passed to Worker Thread, for example you just can't pass a function, read carefully what types are supported.
npm i thread-it
Under the hood threadId uses holdUp so you can use the same options to find a free worker from queue.
name- stringoptions- options may contain:logcounttime
Also you can set THREAD_IT_COUNT env variable to workers count, if 0 it means disabled worker threads.
const threadIt = require('thread-it');
// init workers, depend on os.cpus()
threadIt.init();
const putout = threadIt('putout');
const result = await putout(`const t = 'hello'`);
// when you need to override options use
threadIt('putout', {
count: 5, // default
time: 1000, // default
log: () => {}, // default
});
// terminate workers when no need anymore
threadIt.terminate();- hold-up - setInterval with promises, counter and error handling
- currify - translate the evaluation of a function that takes multiple arguments into evaluating a sequence of functions, each with a single or more arguments.
- fullstore - functional variables.
- wraptile - translate the evaluation of a function that takes multiple arguments into evaluating a sequence of 2 functions, each with a any count of arguments.
