What is synckit?

The synckit npm package allows for executing asynchronous tasks synchronously using worker threads or child processes. It is designed to offload heavy computation or I/O-bound tasks without blocking the main thread, thus enabling a synchronous-like coding style while maintaining non-blocking behavior.

What are synckit's main functionalities?

Running asynchronous tasks synchronously

This feature allows you to run an asynchronous task inside a worker thread and wait for the result synchronously. The 'worker.js' file should export an async function that will be executed with the provided arguments.

const { runAsWorkerThread } = require('synckit');
const result = runAsWorkerThread('./worker.js', ...args);

Creating a synchronous API from asynchronous functions

With this feature, you can create a synchronous version of an asynchronous function. The 'async-fn.js' file should export an async function that will be executed with the provided arguments, and the result will be returned synchronously.

const { createSyncFn } = require('synckit');
const syncFn = createSyncFn('./async-fn.js');
const result = syncFn(...args);
