I'm intending to use web worker inside my Node.js application for some concurrent tasks. However since the 'webworker-threads'
module follows the implementation of HTML5 web worker, requiring Nodejs modules like require("fs")
inside web worker does not work. importScripts()
can load js files but I would like a functionality inside the web worker so that I can require
npm-installed modules. Is there a workaround for that?
author of webworker-threads here. Thank you for using the module!
There is a default native_fs_
object with the readFileSync
you can use to read files.
Beyond that, I've mostly relied on onejs to compile all required modules in package.json
into a single JS file for importScripts
to use, just like one would do when deploying to a client-side web worker environment. (There are also many alternatives to onejs -- browserify, etc.)
Hope this helps!
