Introducing Enhanced Alert Actions and Triage Functionality
Socket now supports four distinct alert actions instead of the previous two, and alert triaging allows users to override the actions taken for all individual alerts.

Readme
Native cross-platform Web Workers. Works in published npm modules.
In Node, it's a web-compatible Worker implementation atop Node's worker_threads.
In the browser (and when bundled for the browser), it's simply an alias of Worker
.
Here's how this is different from worker_threads:
{type:'module'}
) natively in Node 12.8+Event.data
, Event.type
, etc)worker.onmessage=..
)Worker()
accepts a module URL, Blob URL or Data URLIn its simplest form:
import Worker from 'web-worker';
const worker = new Worker('data:,postMessage("hello")');
worker.onmessage = e => console.log(e.data); // "hello"
main.js | worker.js |
---|---|
|
|
👉 Notice how new URL('./worker.js', import.meta.url)
is used above to load the worker relative to the current module instead of the application base URL. Without this, Worker URLs are relative to a document's URL, which in Node.js is interpreted to be process.cwd()
.
Support for this pattern in build tools and test frameworks is still limited. We are working on growing this.
Module Workers are supported in Node 12.8+ using this plugin, leveraging Node's native ES Modules support. In the browser, they can be used natively in Chrome 80+, or in all browsers via worker-plugin or rollup-plugin-off-main-thread. As with classic workers, there is no difference in usage between Node and the browser:
main.mjs | worker.mjs |
---|---|
|
|
Instantiating Worker using a Data URL is supported in both module and classic workers:
import Worker from 'web-worker';
const worker = new Worker(`data:application/javascript,postMessage(42)`);
worker.addEventListener('message', e => {
console.log(e.data) // 42
});
This module aims to provide a simple and forgettable piece of infrastructure,
and as such it needed an obvious and descriptive name.
@calvinmetcalf, who you may recognize as the author of Lie and other fine modules, gratiously offered up the name from his web-worker
package.
Thanks Calvin!
