worker-timers-broker

The broker which is used by the worker-timers package.


Usage

In most cases using this package via worker-timers is probably the most convenient choice.

However worker-timers-broker is published as a separate package on npm. It can be installed using the following command:

``shell
npm install worker-timers-broker
`

The package exports two functions.

$3

The load() function can be used to create a custom instance of worker-timers by explicitly specifying the URL which points to the code of the worker-timers-worker package.

`js
import { load } from 'worker-timers-broker';

const { clearInterval, clearTimeout, setInterval, setTimeout } = load('./the/worker-timers-worker/file');

const intervalId = setInterval(() => {
// do something many times
}, 100);

clearInterval(intervalId);

const timeoutId = setTimeout(() => {
// do something once
}, 100);

clearTimeout(timeoutId);
`

$3

The wrap() function can be used to wrap a Web Worker instance which already runs the code of the worker-timers-worker package.

In a project using Vite it can for example be used by leveraging query suffixes.

`js
import { wrap } from 'worker-timers-broker';
import createWorkerTimersWorker from 'worker-timers-worker?worker';

const { clearInterval, clearTimeout, setInterval, setTimeout } = wrap(createWorkerTimersWorker());

const intervalId = setInterval(() => {
// do something many times
}, 100);

clearInterval(intervalId);

const timeoutId = setTimeout(() => {
// do something once
}, 100);

clearTimeout(timeoutId);
``
