-Node pool contains two worker-threads pool implementations.
+
Contents
+
+
+Node pool contains two worker-threads pool implementations , you don' t have to deal with worker-threads complexity.
The first implementation is a static thread pool , with a defined number of threads that are started at creation time .
-The second implementation is a dynamic thread pool with a number of threads started at creation time and other threads created when the load will increase ( with an upper limit ).
+The second implementation is a dynamic thread pool with a number of threads started at creation time and other threads created when the load will increase ( with an upper limit ), the new created threads will be stopped after a threshold.
+You have to implement your worker extending the ThreadWorker class
+Installation
+
+```
+npm install node-pool --save
+```
+Usage
+
+You can implement a worker in a simple way , extending the class ThreadWorker :
+
+```js
+'use strict'
+const { ThreadWorker } = require('node-pool')
+
+class MyWorker extends ThreadWorker {
+ constructor () {
+ super((data) => {
+ // this will be executed in the worker thread,
+ // the data will be received by using the execute method
+ return { ok: 1 }
+ }, { maxInactiveTime: 1000 * 60})
+ }
+}
+module.exports = new MyWorker()
+```
+
+Instantiate your pool based on your needed :
+
+```js
+'use strict'
+const { FixedThreadPool, DynamicThreadPool } = require('node-pool')
+
+// a fixed thread pool
+const pool = new FixedThreadPool(15,
+ './yourWorker.js')
+
+// or a dynamic thread pool
+const pool = new DynamicThreadPool(10, 100,
+ './yourWorker.js')
+pool.emitter.on('FullPool', () => console.log('Pool is full'))
+
+// the execute method signature is the same for both implementations,
+// so you can easy switch from one to another
+pool.execute({}).then(res => {
+ console.log(res)
+}).catch ....
+
+```
+
+ See examples folder for more details.
+
+Node versions
+
+You can use node version 10.x with --experimental-worker flag, or you can use an higher version (i.e 12.x)
+
+API
+
+### `pool = new FixedThreadPool(numThreads, filePath, opts)`
+`numThreads` (mandatory) Num of threads for this worker pool
+`filePath` (mandatory) Path to a file with a worker implementation
+`opts` (optional) An object with these properties :
+- `errorHandler` - A function that will listen for error event on each worker thread
+- `onlineHandler` - A function that will listen for online event on each worker thread
+- `exitHandler` - A function that will listen for exit event on each worker thread
+- `maxTasks` - This is just to avoid not useful warnings message, is used to set maxListeners on event emitters ( workers are event emitters)
+
+### `pool = new DynamicThreadPool(min, max, filePath, opts)`
+`min` (mandatory) Same as FixedThreadPool numThreads , this number of threads will be always active
+`max` (mandatory) Max number of workers that this pool can contain, the new created threads will die after a threshold ( default is 1 minute , you can override it in your worker implementation).
+`filePath` (mandatory) Same as FixedThreadPool
+`opts` (optional) Same as FixedThreadPool
+
+### `pool.execute(data)`
+Execute method is available on both pool implementations ( return type : Promise):
+`data` (mandatory) An object that you want to pass to your worker implementation
+
+### `pool.destroy()`
+Destroy method is available on both pool implementations.
+This method will call the terminate method on each worker.
+
+
+### `class YourWorker extends ThreadWorker`
+`fn` (mandatory) The function that you want to execute on the worker thread
+`opts` (optional) An object with these properties :
+- `maxInactiveTime` - Max time to wait tasks to work on ( in ms) , after this period the new worker threads will die.
