muworker-socket

Web Worker made available to mudb. Suitable for creating games with a single-player mode by running the server in a separate thread to allow better user experience.

example

Both browserify and webworkify are required to run the example.

worker.js

const { createWorkerSocketServer } = require('muworker-socket/server')
const { MuServer } = require('mudb/server')
 
// source of worker should go into `module.exports`
module.exports = () => {
    const socketServer = createWorkerSocketServer()
    const muServer = new MuServer(socketServer)
 
    socketServer.listen()
    muServer.start(/* listeners */)
}

client.js

// `webworkify` enables workers to `require()`
const work = require('webworkify')
const { createWorkerSocket } = require('muworker-socket/socket')
const { MuClient } = require('mudb/client')
 
const serverWorker = work(require('./worker.js'))
const socket = createWorkerSocket({
    sessionId: Math.random().toString(36).substr(2),
    serverWorker: serverWorker,
})
const muClient = new MuClient(socket)
 
muClient.start(/* listeners */)
