react-native-bg-thread

This package helps in executing the javascript in a background thread. Time-consuming javascript code is shifted to a native background thread by freeing the main-UI thread, which helps in increasing the efficiency of the application. Thread priority can be handled by passing in the appropriate flags. Currently we support three types of flag as under: | Priority Flags | Description | Android thread value | IOS thread value | | :----: | :----: | :----: | :----: | | MAX | This sets the thread priority to the maximum available on the corresponding native platform. | 10 | 1.0 | | MIN | This sets the thread priority to the minmimum available on the corresponding native platform. | 1 | 0.1 | | NORMAL | This sets the thread priority to the default or normal on the corresponding native platform. | 5 | 0.5 |
