# thread-loader
|
|
|
|
Runs the following loaders in a worker pool.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install --save-dev thread-loader
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Put this loader in front of other loaders. The following loaders run in a worker pool.
|
|
|
|
Loaders running in a worker pool are limited. Examples:
|
|
|
|
- Loaders cannot emit files.
|
|
- Loaders cannot use custom loader API (i. e. by plugins).
|
|
- Loaders cannot access the webpack options.
|
|
|
|
Each worker is a separate node.js process, which has an overhead of ~600ms. There is also an overhead of inter-process communication.
|
|
|
|
Use this loader only for expensive operations!
|
|
|
|
### Examples
|
|
|
|
**webpack.config.js**
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
module.exports = {
|
|
module: {
|
|
rules: [
|
|
{
|
|
test: /\.js$/,
|
|
include: path.resolve('src'),
|
|
use: [
|
|
'thread-loader',
|
|
// your expensive loader (e.g babel-loader)
|
|
],
|
|
},
|
|
],
|
|
},
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**with options**
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
use: [
|
|
{
|
|
loader: 'thread-loader',
|
|
// loaders with equal options will share worker pools
|
|
options: {
|
|
// the number of spawned workers, defaults to (number of cpus - 1) or
|
|
// fallback to 1 when require('os').cpus() is undefined
|
|
workers: 2,
|
|
|
|
// number of jobs a worker processes in parallel
|
|
// defaults to 20
|
|
workerParallelJobs: 50,
|
|
|
|
// additional node.js arguments
|
|
workerNodeArgs: ['--max-old-space-size=1024'],
|
|
|
|
// Allow to respawn a dead worker pool
|
|
// respawning slows down the entire compilation
|
|
// and should be set to false for development
|
|
poolRespawn: false,
|
|
|
|
// timeout for killing the worker processes when idle
|
|
// defaults to 500 (ms)
|
|
// can be set to Infinity for watching builds to keep workers alive
|
|
poolTimeout: 2000,
|
|
|
|
// number of jobs the poll distributes to the workers
|
|
// defaults to 200
|
|
// decrease of less efficient but more fair distribution
|
|
poolParallelJobs: 50,
|
|
|
|
// name of the pool
|
|
// can be used to create different pools with elsewise identical options
|
|
name: 'my-pool',
|
|
},
|
|
},
|
|
// your expensive loader (e.g babel-loader)
|
|
];
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**prewarming**
|
|
|
|
To prevent the high delay when booting workers it possible to warmup the worker pool.
|
|
|
|
This boots the max number of workers in the pool and loads specified modules into the node.js module cache.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const threadLoader = require('thread-loader');
|
|
|
|
threadLoader.warmup(
|
|
{
|
|
// pool options, like passed to loader options
|
|
// must match loader options to boot the correct pool
|
|
},
|
|
[
|
|
// modules to load
|
|
// can be any module, i. e.
|
|
'babel-loader',
|
|
'babel-preset-es2015',
|
|
'sass-loader',
|
|
]
|
|
);
|
|
```
