A simple utility to handle sub-processes and multi threading and tasking in a node driven application
npm install node-process
``bash`
$ npm install node-process;
`javascript
//for one sub process/thread
let node_process = require('node_process');
node_process.fork('path_to_valid_module', ['array of arg required by module'], true)
.then((response)=>{
//response is string|object sent from the module back to the main thread
//such response will be sent with process.send('string|object');
console.log(response);
})
.catch((error)=>{
//error occurred.
console.log(error);
});
//for a sticky process/thread that never ends until main thread is dead
node_process.fork('path_to_valid_module', ['array of arg required by module'], false)
.then((response)=>{
//response is string|object sent from the module back to the main thread
//such response will be sent with process.send('string|object', 'Handler' ()=>{}, {keepOpen:true});
//note the Handler i.e Empty ()=>{}
//and the {keepOpen:true} options
console.log(response);
})
.catch((error)=>{
//error occurred.
console.log(error);
});
