QUESTION
I'm using Node v12.
I have a child process created with fork.
That child process executes an asynchronous task as follows:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Feb-03 at 02:43You aren't doing anything wrong. This is the expected ordering of events.
Using await
in an async
function only suspends execution of the specific function that the await
is in and at that point the function then immediately returns a promise and execution continues on the next line of code after the function call. That is exactly what you are seeing here. That is the expected behavior.
Here's a step-by-step description of what's going on:
console.log('before async');
executes.- Your
async
IIFE starts andconsole.log('before await')
executes. - It executes
await asyncTask();
and the current function execution is suspended and then that function immediately returns a promise. - Since you do nothing with the function that the IIFE returns, the next line of code after that function call runs and this
console.log('after async');
runs. - Sometime later the promise that
asyncTask()
returned resolves and theawait asyncTask()
is done waiting and the execution of your function is resumed.
So, an async
IIFE with an await
in it (like you are using) does not pause the entire execution of the interpreter. It only pauses the internal execution of the IIFE. The lines of code right after it continue to execute as soon as the first await
is encountered.
To advise on the proper way to write this code, we would need to see the larger context of how this code is being used and what is calling it and what that wants to wait for. There is no escaping an asynchronous operation. Using async/await
does not make the overall operation suddenly become synchronous. It's still asynchronous and the caller still has to deal with using asynchronous programming techniques.
Probably, you should create a function that returns a promise when the forked process is complete. Then, the caller who wants to know when the forked process is complete must use that promise with either await
or .then()
to known when it's done. You can't hide that asynchronous coding inside a function and then treat the calling function as a normal synchronous function - Javascript does not work that way. Once anything in the calling chain is asynchronous, the whole calling chain is asynchronous and asynchronous coding techniques must be used to communicate back completion, errors and results.

I have been trying to install something from a github repository and run it inside. I used npm install github:openfn/core#v1.0.0
in my project directory which added "core": "github:openfn/core#v1.0.0"
to the package.json. However when I try to build the docker container with docker build -t name .

QUESTION
I have image data(210KB) that has been encrypted via RSA algorithm. I would like to decrypt that encrypted image data into Javascript using JSEncrypt. I was able to decrypt the image successfully, but it took around 10 seconds. So I thought to use the multiprocessing in Javascript in which I want to use JSEncrypt functionality which is loaded in script.
How to use parallel processing in Javascript to speedup the processing. Or is there any other way to speedup the RSA decryption in Javascript?
Here is the sample code that I was trying for parallel processing in Javascript, but decrypt.decrypt was not working.
...ANSWER
Answered 2017-Mar-31 at 11:44It is possible to utilize multiprocessing in the browser, but browser support is pretty porous, and it will probably feel like a hack. You'll need to use a browser that creates a new process for each tab, and that supports shared worker threads. So basically, Chrome.
Using a Shared Worker object will allow multiple tabs or Windows to share data. So all you need to do is create a script that decrypts a portion of the image (decrypt.js), and sends the clear data back through the worker. Then, have your main script open a few new tabs running decrypt.js and send each one the data to crunch.
However, there are still nuances. The message passing across processes will impact performance for large objects since they must be copied. This can be relieved using Transferable Objects; essentially, you'll have to manage formatting your data into an array buffer and back again.
Also, the browser will probably give those tabs a low execution priority or stop them all together, depending on the implementation. In that case, you'll have to create a worker thread that posts a message to the main thread at regular intervals, for each tab.
This is all assuming that the encryption algorithm you're using can be done in parallel, and that the JSEncrypt library supports it...
My suggestion: decrypt in a standard, dedicated worker thread and show a loading bar. 10 seconds isn't that bad when there's something pretty to look at ;)
QUESTION
I thought that javascript was limited to a single thread in every browser. Parallel.js
says:
Parallel.js solves that problem by giving you high level access to multi-core processing using web workers.
The unminified code can be found here. I'm simply wondering how parallel.js works, can anyone explain?
...ANSWER
Answered 2018-Oct-03 at 00:20So while javascript has a single thread to run the main set of functions of the stack it also has Workers https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Worker, these objects are allowed by the browser to run background tasks like complex math operations.
therefore this tasks will be administrated by the browser taking advantage of the OS to create multiple threads for different tasks.
but this does not allow to reuse the same variables in both contexts unless they are used with the recommended API (as a limitation).
and that's what parallel js takes advantage of.
check the code and search for worker
I'm sure it will illustrate you more.
In summary Workers are an API to run multiple processes that interact by methods instead of the usual js chain of code and your code has to be very specific about what to run and with what variables and kind works like promises where you send a task and you wait for the task to return a result sometime in the future .then()
you do something else

I am trying to use a POST request to retrieve the value of the button submitted and creates a new Mongoose model entry using the returned value before rendering a new page and passing through the value.
When i try to create the new "Type" though i receive a TypeError: "TypeError: Cannot use 'in' operator to search for '_id' in one". Can someone help me figure out what is driving the error and how to fix it?
