Execute Web Workers without external files
Usage is as really simple:
callableWebworker = webwork(callback);
callback
takes a single data argument and should return the result
callableWebworker
is a function that takes the data to send and a node style callback ie function(err, result) {}
var goodWorker = webwork(function (data) {
return "!!" + data + "!!";
});
var badWorker = webwork(function (data) {
return "!!" + data + imNotDefined + "!!";
});
goodWorker("Test123", function(err, result) {
if (err) return alert("goodWorker Errored with " + err.message);
alert("first goodWorker returned with " + result);
});
goodWorker("Test123", function(err, result) {
if (err) return alert("goodWorker Errored with " + err.message);
alert("second goodWorker returned with " + result);
});
badWorker("Test456", function(err, result) {
if (err) return alert("badWorker Errored with " + err.message);
alert("badWorker returned with " + result);
});
alert("Since webworkers are async this should happen first.\nThe callbacks may fire in any order");
The astute may realize that they can access the event
variable inside the callback
