Create web workers without a separate worker JS files. Source: http://jsbin.com/owogib/8/

inlineworker.js

function worker() {
  setInterval(function() {
    postMessage({foo: "bar"});
  }, 1000);
}

var code = worker.toString();
code = code.substring(code.indexOf("{")+1, code.lastIndexOf("}"));

var blob = new Blob([code], {type: "application/javascript"});
var worker = new Worker(URL.createObjectURL(blob));

worker.onmessage = function(m) {
  console.log("msg", m);
};

Very kewel.

Super helpful! 👍

helpful a lot on right time! Thx!

looks very good

Thank you for this example. Little mistake: worker function and worker object names intersection.

In addition for this.
If you use webworkers for short tasks, you should release them by calling close(), see example here https://jsfiddle.net/bdjv0u4g/
Otherwise you will get a thread leak.

@AlekseyPi lol actually he's conserving memory. That worker function wasn't needed, as it was converted to a blob. It was no longer needed. No need to create extra variables.

Also, GC cleans up Workers, but yes, recommended to close that aswell.

and NOT just for shorter (Tasks), but for all.

thanks
