interruptor – Run a function with the possibility to interrupt it from another thread
Usage Example
import { runInterruptible, interrupt } from 'interruptor';
runInterruptible(handle => {
// pass handle to another thread using .postMessage();
while(true);
});
// In another thread:
interrupt(handle);
Caveats
This is a native addon, and currently no pre-built binaries are available.
This only interrupts synchronous execution inside the callback, not async
functions (although the microtaskMode
option for the vm
module in
Node.js 14 and above can help with Promises here).
