Handling no Worker support
🤔 Based on my first few seconds with workerize
and workerize-loader
:
In the situations where Workers aren't supported (IE9, Chrome w/ file:/// protocol, etc), the Worker construction fails and throws. This would force the user to try/catch the worker construction and then implement code to run in the main thread in that case (if necessary).
Rather that try/catching that and having to write that fall-back code, it could be handy if workerize
could fail gracefully and just proxy through the original functions (wrapped in Promises to preserve the expected API).
Thoughts? I don't have a lot of experience with Workers / workerize
, but it came to my mind so I thought I'd bring it up.
Edit: Forgot to mention that workerize
and the loader look super cool so far, so great work! 👍
Definitely interested in this, for workerize-loader
as well. The Promise-wrapping idea is great, too - I hadn't thought of that.
👍 if I get some free time soon I might try to throw something together, then!
