nanothreads

A super-fast, super-powerful Worker-based multi-threading library for the browser and Node.js.

Nanothreads is only ~2 KB for browsers, ~2.3 KB for Node.js, making it a _super_ tiny alternative to
tinypool, threads.js and others!

Overview

- Zero-dependencies :x:
- Tiny bundle size! :see_no_evil:
- 100% Fully Typed :100:
- Super fast, super efficient :fire:
- Check out the [Historical Benchmarks]() or the Benchmarks section of the README for more info
- Works both in the browser, and Node :eyes:

#### Importing

`ts
// Browsers
import { ThreadPool } from "nanothreads/browser";

// Node.js
import { ThreadPool } from "nanothreads";
`

> Note: Browsers must specify the import path as nanothreads/browser.

#### Kitchen Sink

`ts
import { InlineThread, Thread, ThreadPool } from "nanothreads";

type Quote = {
quote: string;
};

// Inline Thread
const inline_thread = new InlineThread<[name: string], string>((name) => {
return "Hello " + name;
});

// Thread from a script
const thread = new Thread("./worker.ts");

// Thread Pool from an inlined function
const pool = new ThreadPool({
task: (url) => {
return fetch(url)
.then((res) => res.json())
.then((json) => json as Quote);
},
count: 5, // number of threads = 5
});

// Using the thread pool
for (let idx = 0; idx < 10; idx++) {
pool.exec("https://api.kanye.rest").then((quote) => {
// output: "{ quote: "Man... whatever happened to my antique fish tank?" };"
console.log(JSON.stringify(quote));
});
}

const greetings = await inline_thread.send("Kanye"); // output: "Hello Kanye"

const my_number = await thread.send(4); // output: 8

// Cleanup when done!
await thread.terminate();
await inline_thread.terminate();
await pool.terminate();
