ThreadsJS integration for Webpack. If you're using Rollup, you may want to check out rollup-plugin-threads (Basically does the same thing as this plugin but for Rollup).
Features

console.log(worker.echo('Hello World!')); //Worker received: Hello World!
//Destroy the worker
Thread.terminate(worker);Worker
