# worker

  Web worker API wrapper.

## Installation

    $ component install component/worker

## API

### Worker(script)

  Initialize a worker with the given `script`.

### Worker#send(msg)

  Send a message to the worker.

```js

var upper = new Worker('uppercase.js');

upper.on('message', function(msg){

  console.log(msg.string);

});

upper.send({ string: 'hello' });

upper.send({ string: 'world' });

```

### Worker#send(msg, callback[, transferables])

  Send a request message to the worker with the given `callback`. When

  using the request/response paradigm you should pass the `e.data.id` property

  back with your response so that the correct callback may be invoked:

worker:

```js

onmessage = function(e) {

  setTimeout(function(){

    postMessage({ id: e.data.id, string: e.data.string.toUpperCase() });

  }, 500);

};

```

client:

```js

upper.send({ string: 'hello' }, function(msg){

  console.log(msg.string);

});

```

### Worker#close()

  Terminate the worker.
