Node pool contains two <a href="https://nodejs.org/api/worker_threads.html#worker_threads_worker_threads">worker-threads </a> pool implementations , you don' t have to deal with worker-threads complexity. <br>
The first implementation is a static thread pool , with a defined number of threads that are started at creation time .<br>
-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 ). <br>
+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. <br>
+You have to implement your worker extending the ThreadWorker class<br>
+<h2 id="installation">Installation</h2>
-## Installation
```
npm install node-pool --save
```
-# Usage
+<h2 id="usage">Usage</h2>
You can implement a worker in a simple way , extending the class ThreadWorker :
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
+ // 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()
```js
'use strict'
-const { FixedThreadPool } = require('node-pool')
+const { FixedThreadPool, DynamicThreadPool } = require('node-pool')
// a fixed thread pool
const pool = new FixedThreadPool(15,
<strong> See examples folder for more details.</strong>
-## Node versions
+<h2 id="nv">Node versions</h2>
+
You can use node version 10.x with --experimental-worker flag, or you can use an higher version (i.e 12.x) <br>
-## API
+<h2 id="api">API</h2>
+
+### `pool = new FixedThreadPool(numThreads, filePath, opts)`
+`numThreads` (mandatory) Num of threads for this worker pool <br>
+`filePath` (mandatory) Path to a file with a worker implementation <br>
+`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 <a href="https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v12.x/docs/api/events.html#events_emitter_setmaxlisteners_n">maxListeners</a> 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 <br>
+`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). <br>
+`filePath` (mandatory) Same as FixedThreadPool <br>
+`opts` (optional) Same as FixedThreadPool <br>
+
+### `pool.execute(data)`
+Execute method is available on both pool implementations ( return type : Promise): <br>
+`data` (mandatory) An object that you want to pass to your worker implementation <br>
+
+### `pool.destroy()`
+Destroy method is available on both pool implementations.<br>
+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 <br>
+`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.
