# webpack-loader-worker

`webpack-loader-worker` runs the following loaders in node.js `worker_threads` pool. It works as similar to [thread-loader](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/thread-loader), but only supports native node.js worker threads. (node.js >= 12. Version below 12 are untested)

## Install

```sh

npm install --save-dev webpack-loader-worker

```

## Usage

Put this loader in front of other loaders. The following loaders run in a worker pool. Loaders running in a thread pool are limited, does not have full access to webpack loader's context.

### Configuration examples

```ts

use: [

  {

    loader: "webpack-loader-worker",

    options: {

      // the number of spawned workers, defaults to (number of cpus - 1)

      maxWorkers: 2,

      logLevel: 'info' | 'verbose'

    }

  },

  // your expensive loader (e.g babel-loader)

]

```

## Credits

While this module is **NOT** officially affiliated, it relies on a lot of prior art from [`thread-loader`](https://github.com/webpack-contrib/thread-loader). You may notice some similar logic, and it is expected.
