This minor release introduces an exciting new feature: The BlobWorker
๐ทโโ๏ธ๐ทโโ๏ธ
Use the BlobWorker
to spawn workers from in-memory code. You can create stand-alone bundles that ship the master and the worker code in one file, without the need to reference a separate worker file at runtime.
Read its documentation for more details.

Small minor release, shipping a new way to wait for pool tasks to complete.
The new pool.settled()
method now allows you to await
the completion of all pool tasks. The difference to pool.completed()
is that the promise won't be rejected if a task fails โ the returned promise will always successfully resolve to an array of errors as thrown by failing tasks.

A minor release introducing the timeout
option and custom data serializers.
The new custom serializers allow passing class instances and other non-trivial data between threads, that normally cannot be passed using the underlying .postMessage()
method. Read the docs for details.

Finally, after about half a year in beta here it is โ threads.js v1.0 ๐๐
It has not been easy, but it's been worth the effort. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the v1.0 release! There were and still are many different ways to contribute.
Version 1.0 is a complete rewrite of the library with a new API and written in TypeScript. It is the result of all the lessons learned from working on and working with v0.x.
The most noticeable changes are:
This also means that you can now write worker code pretty intuitively and use worker functions just by calling them like any other function.
Since the new API is Promise-based, error handling now finally feels trivial. You might notice there is no more UMD build. If you feel like this is an issue you can vote to add it again in #191.
Transfer()
function signature (#190)maxQueuedJobs
option to pool (#188)observable-fns
now (#185)A couple of features are still in discussion โ head over to Issues
to check them out. Here is a brief summary.
