importw

Permission restricted imports for Deno.

import {
  importw,
  release,
  worker,
} from "https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts";

// Import module from within a worker.
const { log, add, [release]: terminate, [worker]: workerRef } = await importw(
  "https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/examples/basic/exampleMod.ts",
  {
    name: "exampleWorker",
    deno: false,
  },
);

// Have access to the underlying Worker
console.log(workerRef.constructor.name); // Worker

// Run code within the Worker
await log(`add(40, 2) in a worker:`, await add(40, 2));

// Gracefully release Worker resources
await terminate();

About

This module allows users to import modules from within a Deno Worker and expose the methods to the main runtime.

This allows for a degree of isolation around the imported module, and allows consumers to restrict an imported module's access to the Deno namespace and / or privileged operations.

Note: this module does not provide full isolation as Workers run in-process. If your code is long running you may be vulnerable to side channel timing attacks.

This module consists of ports / adaptions of Comlink and import-from-worker to create the bridge between main runtime and Worker.
