Background.js
I’ve been writing a single page CoffeeScript web app and needed to put some processing on a background thread so my GUI would remain responsive.
I found some articles referring to a good JavaScript WorkerQueue library so I gave it a shot.
After playing with it, I realized that I needed some extra functionality:
1) set up and clean up before and after the worker is run
2) the ability to destroy the worker queue (to support a single page app)
3) Array iterator helpers to keep the code DRY
If you are interested in theses capabilities in an easy to use background queue and list library, download now (Right-click, and use “Save As”):
