API

offloadFunction(function_, ...arguments_)

Returns a Promise that resolves with the function's return value.

Serializes the function to a string and runs it inside a Worker thread. Arguments and return values must be serializable via the structured clone algorithm.

function_

Type: Function

The function to execute in a Worker thread.

arguments_

Type: unknown[]

Arguments to pass to the function.

Limitations

The function cannot reference closure variables — it is serialized to a string.
Arguments must be serializable (structured clone).
The return value must be serializable (structured clone).
