HFXWorker

HFXWorker is a worker_threads pool implementation that supports passing buffers.

• Focused on performance
• Uses generic-pool
• Unit and E2E tested

npm install --save hfxworker

Quick Start

Create a file named pool.js:

import { createWorkerPool } from 'hfxworker';
import path from 'path';
 
const execute = async () => {
 
    const pool = createWorkerPool(
        path.join(__dirname, 'worker.js')
    );
 
    const sum = pool.getMethod('sum');
 
    const b = Buffer.from([0, 0, 0, 0]);
    b.writeUInt32LE(2, 0);
 
    const result = await sum({
        releaseBefore: false,
        data: {
            a: 1,
        },
        buffers: {
            b,
        },
    });
    
    console.log(Buffer.from(result.buffers.c).readUInt32LE(0));
    console.log(result.data.c);
 
    await pool.drain();
    await pool.clear();
 
}
 
execute().catch((error) => console.error(error));

And another file as worker.js:

import { exposeWorker } from 'hfxworker';
 
exposeWorker({
    sum: async (task) => {
        const c = task.data.a + Buffer.from(task.buffers.b).readUInt32LE(0);
        const cBuffer = Buffer.from([0, 0, 0, 0]);
        cBuffer.writeUInt32LE(c, 0);
        return {
            data: {
                c 
            },
            buffers: {
                c: cBuffer
            }
        };
    }
});

Now you just need to run node pool.js!
