workerjs-worker

CLI Interface and library for starting and managing workers and forwarding commands and results.

Instalation

# You need project.json in same directory
npm install workerjs-worker --save

Usage

Step 1: Starting

# This starts worker on channel example and spawns ./examples/workerExample.js
WORKER=./examples/workerExample.js WORKERNAME=example ./node_modules/.bin/workerjs-worker

Step 2: Usage inside process

const worker = require("workerjs-worker");

// Initialize communication to worker
worker.init();

// Subscribe on new tasks from worker
worker.on("task", function(task){
    // You just got new task

    setTimeout(function(){
        // Tell something to client
        task.publish(123);

        // Say to worker that you are finished. 
        task.finish();
    }, Math.random() * 3000);

});

// Tell worker that you are ready
worker.ready();

TODO

• Define more clear names for parts of worker [worker, process, etc.]

• Implement logging and add client to worker
