Function Threads

Additional layer for Node.js's "worker_threads" module.

Library provides run function, which takes an callback as argument and runs it in a thread. It returns a promise, inside callback you can return promise or plain value(i.e. object, string and etc...).

Installation

Using npm:

$ npm i --save function-threads

Using yarn:

$ yarn add function-threads

And always use --experimental-worker flag when you run project, because under the hood has been implemented worker-threads which is in Experimental mode.

const Thread = require('function-threads');

Thread.run(() => 2 ** 10)
  .then((num) => {
    console.log(`Result: ${num}`);
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    console.error(err);
  });

$ node --experimental-worker  index.js
