What is worker-rpc?

The worker-rpc package is a lightweight and efficient library for facilitating RPC (Remote Procedure Call) style communication between web workers and the main thread in a web environment. It simplifies the process of sending and receiving messages, making it easier to manage asynchronous tasks and parallel processing in web applications.

What are worker-rpc's main functionalities?

Creating an RPC Provider

This code sample demonstrates how to create an RPC provider in the main thread. The RpcProvider is initialized with a function that sends messages to the worker. The worker's onmessage handler is set to dispatch incoming messages through the RpcProvider.

const { RpcProvider } = require('worker-rpc');
const rpcProvider = new RpcProvider(message => worker.postMessage(message));
worker.onmessage = event => rpcProvider.dispatch(event.data);

Creating an RPC Handler

This code sample shows how to set up an RPC handler inside a worker. It creates an RpcProvider that sends messages back to the main thread. The 'calculate' RPC handler is registered to multiply a number by 2, demonstrating how to handle specific tasks.

const { RpcProvider } = require('worker-rpc');
const rpcProvider = new RpcProvider(message => postMessage(message));
onmessage = event => rpcProvider.dispatch(event.data);
rpcProvider.registerRpcHandler('calculate', data => data.num * 2);
