Basic description of worker-loader's purpose about worker-loader HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi. Good idea. I'll appreciate a pull request with docs improvements.

from worker-loader.

I would love to @TrySound, but I'm still unsure of what worker-loader's function is. Even after reading the example code, its hard to decipher what its purpose is.

Maybe here is a good place to discuss what the description could be?

Yeah. Let's do this. Do you know what is web worker? It's a code which can be run in different thread to not lock main one with big computations.

So usually it can be run like this

var myWorker = new window.Worker('worker.js');
myWorker.onmessage = function(e) {
  console.log('Message received from worker');
}

But for this we should prepare worker.js and place it in folder near html.
worker-loader let's you just to import worker constructor and place it as usual chunk depending on configuration

import MyWorker from 'worker-loader!../ww/worker.js';
var myWorker = new MyWorker();
myWorker.onmessage = function(e) {
  console.log('Message received from worker');
}

Also there's inline mode which can place your worker inside bundle via string with or without chunks as a fallback.

Looks like this was addressed by #65. Thanks
