workerio

Deno module to translate Worker’s system of messages into Reader and Writer.

This module supports Deno v1.22.0 or later.

Example

Server

import {
  WorkerReader,
  WorkerWriter,
} from "https://deno.land/x/workerio/mod.ts";

const decoder = new TextDecoder();
const encoder = new TextEncoder();

const worker = new Worker(new URL("./worker.ts", import.meta.url).href, {
  type: "module",
});

const reader = new WorkerReader(worker);
const writer = new WorkerWriter(worker);

await writer.write(encoder.encode("Hello"));
await writer.write(encoder.encode("World"));

for await (const data of Deno.iter(reader)) {
  const text = decoder.decode(data);
  console.log(text);
}

Worker

import {
  WorkerReader,
  WorkerWriter,
} from "https://deno.land/x/workerio/mod.ts";

const decoder = new TextDecoder();
const encoder = new TextEncoder();

async function main(): Promise<void> {
  // deno-lint-ignore no-explicit-any
  const worker = self as any;
  const reader = new WorkerReader(worker);
  const writer = new WorkerWriter(worker);

  for await (const data of Deno.iter(reader)) {
    const text = decoder.decode(data);
    await writer.write(encoder.encode(`!!! ${text} !!!`));
  }
}

main().catch((e) => console.error(e));

Benchmark

You can run benchmark of WorkerReader and WorkerWriter with the following command:
