Module Workers Polyfill npm version

This is a 1.1kb polyfill for Module Workers.

It adds support for new Worker('..',{type:'module'}) to all modern browsers (those that support fetch).

Usage

Copy module-workers-polyfill.js to your web directory, then load it using an import or a script tag. It just needs to be loaded before instantiating your Worker.

Use WebWorkers and promises to run sync heavy functions in a worker (process) and get the result in a promise
function asyncThread(fn, ...args) {
if (!window.Worker) throw Promise.reject(
new ReferenceError(`WebWorkers aren't available.`)
);
const fnWorker = `
self.onmessage = function(message) {
(${fn.toString()})
.apply(null, message.data)
.then(result => self.postMessage(result));
