# WebWorker Shim
A tiny shim for WebWorker (data URI only) that works in Node.
## Install
```sh
npm install webworker-shim
```
## Usage
Only WebWorkers encoded as a `data:text/javascript;charset=utf-8,*` string are supported.
```ts
import Worker from 'webworker-shim';
// Let's create a worker
const worker = new Worker ( `data:text/javascript;charset=utf-8,${encodeURIComponent (`
addEventListener ( 'message', event => {
if ( event.data === 'ping' ) {
postMessage ( 'pong' );
}
});
`)}`);
worker.addEventListener ( 'message', event => {
console.log ( event.data ); // => 'pong'
});
worker.postMessage ( 'ping' );
```
Alternatively you can just polyfill `gloalThis.Worker`, like this:
```ts
import 'webworker-shim/register';
```
