threadbox | Recursive Worker Threads in NodeJS | Architecture library

threadbox is a TypeScript library typically used in Architecture, Nodejs applications. threadbox has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. However threadbox has a Non-SPDX License. You can download it from GitHub.

ThreadBox is a threading library for JavaScript that is built on top of NodeJS worker_threads. It is written to allow for compute intensive JavaScript or WASM processes to be trivially executed in remote worker threads. ThreadBox approaches this by enabling any class decorated with Thread to be spawned and instanced in a remote worker thread. ThreadBox constructs an async interface to the remote worker class, allowing the host thread to invoke operations on the remote worker through simple async method calls. ThreadBox uses a recursive pattern to spawn worker threads. Internally it will recursively call into the applications entry module (typically app.js) and instance a requested Thread class when spawning a new worker. Because each new worker is spawned from the same entry module as the application, class, function and const definitions defined by the application are also available to each subsequent thread. This approach allows for ergonomic same file threading common to other languages. ThreadBox was built as a research project and is primarily geared towards TypeScript development. It does however provide a non-decorator based fallback API for JavaScript users. This library is offered as is to anyone who may find it of use. Built with Node 12.16.1 LTS and TypeScript 4.1.2.
