coterminous-js-messageport

A transport for use with Message Ports such as WebWorkers

Useage in the Worker

Coterminous.root({
    //... your exposed api functions here
    hello : function(){return "world";}
});

onconnect = function(e) {
  Coterminous.connectTransport(new MessagePortTransport(e.ports[0]));
}

Useage in the Browser

var worker = new SharedWorker('worker.js');
Coterminous.connect(new MessagePortTransport(worker.port)).then(function(remoteInterface)
{
    //do stuff
    remoteInterface.hello().then(function(response)
    {
        console.log(response);
    });
});

Changing Direction

Connect - connects and gets the root object

ConnectTransport - just connects

You can swap these around to suit your needs, worker going to call the webpage? use connect. api calls in both directions? sure! Use connect in both places.
