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>

## 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 }
    })
  }
}
module.exports = new MyWorker()
```

Instantiate your pool based on your needed : 

```js
'use strict'
const { FixedThreadPool  } = 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 .... 

```
