Nested Worker polyfill for Safari

Nested Worker Polyfill

Nested Worker polyfill for Safari. Uses MessageChannel to avoid having to send all messages through the main thread. Does not support Shared Workers.

Install

yarn add git+https://github.com/johanholmerin/nested-worker#semver:^1.0.0

Usage

Import the polyfill in the main thread before creating any worker, and as the first statement in all workers.

// in window
import 'nested-worker/window.js';

const worker = new Worker('worker.js', {
  type: 'module' // or transpile modules
});

// worker.js
import 'nested-worker/worker.js';

const nestedWorker = new Worker('another-worker.js', {
  type: 'module' // or transpile modules
});

// another-worker.js
import 'nested-worker/worker.js';
