jThread

Simple way to use multi thread in javascript. Web workers without a separate Javascript file.

Syntax:

var thread = jThread(workerFunction, onDoneFunction);
    thread(param [, param2 [, ...]]);

* This function returns a new function based web worker (or timeout).
* Returned function takes one or several params.

* workerFunction - function for new thread;  Example: workerFunction = function(a, b, c) {return a+ b + c;}

* onDoneFunction (result, status) - function called when worker function will be finished;
* status === 'worker' - using Web Worker.
* status === 'timer' - using Timers (Browser not support web workers, for old Browsers)

Using:

Use tag 'script' for include "jThread.js" file.

// Example 1

// function for Thread
var worker = function(arr) {
	var i = arr.length;
	while (--i > 0) {
		// do something
	}
	return arr;
};

// onDone function
// this function will be called when function "worker" makes return ;
var onDone = function(result) {
	console.log(result);
};

// create new Thread-function.
var thread = jThread(worker, onDone);
// and execute it with array
thread([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]);



// Example 2
	
// You can use simple calling like this
jThread(
	function(a, b, c) {
		return a * b * c;
	}
	,function(result, status) {
		alert(result + ' : ' + status);
	}
)(10, 15, 25);
