CLI Interface and library for starting and managing workers and forwarding commands and results.

Instalation

# You need project.json in same directory 
npm install workerjs-mux --save

Usage

Step 1: Starting

# This starts worker on channel example and spawns ./examples/workerExample.js 
WORKER=./examples/workerExample.js WORKERNAME=example ./node_modules/.bin/workerjs-mux

Step 2: Usage inside process

const worker = require("workerjs-mux");
 
// Subscribe on new tasks from worker
worker.on("task", function(task){
  // You just got new task
 
  setTimeout(function(){
    // Tell something to client
    task.publish(123);
 
    // Say to worker that you are finished.
    task.finish();
  }, Math.random() * 3000);
});
 
// Tell worker that you are ready to recieve tasks
worker.ready();
