# rollup-plugin-off-main-thread
Use Rollup with workers and ES6 modules _today_.
```
$ npm install --save @surma/rollup-plugin-off-main-thread
```
Workers are JavaScripts version of threads. [Workers are important to use][when workers] as the main thread is already overloaded, especially on slower or older devices.
This plugin takes care of shimming module support in workers and allows you to use `new Worker()`.
OMT is the result of merging loadz0r and workz0r.
## Usage
I set up [a gist] to show a full setup with OMT.
### Config
```js
// rollup.config.js
import OMT from "@surma/rollup-plugin-off-main-thread";
export default {
input: ["src/main.js"],
output: {
dir: "dist",
// You _must_ use either “amd” or “esm” as your format.
// But note that only very few browsers have native support for
// modules in workers.
format: "amd"
},
plugins: [OMT()]
};
```
### Auto bundling
In your project's code:
```js
const worker = new Worker("./worker.js", { type: "module" });
```
This will just work.
### Importing workers as URLs
If your worker constructor doesn't match `workerRegexp` (see options below), you might find it easier to import the worker as a URL. In your project's code:
```js
import workerURL from "omt:./worker.js";
import paintWorkletURL from "omt:./paint-worklet.js";
const worker = new Worker(workerURL, { name: "main-worker" });
CSS.paintWorklet.addModule(paintWorkletURL);
```
`./worker.js` and `./paint-worklet.js` will be added to the output as chunks.
## Options
```js
{
// ...
plugins: [OMT(options)];
}
```
- `loader`: A string containing the EJS template for the amd loader. If `undefined`, OMT will use `loader.ejs`.
- `useEval`: Use `fetch()` + `eval()` to load dependencies instead of `<script>` tags and `importScripts()`. _This is not CSP compliant, but is required if you want to use dynamic imports in ServiceWorker_.
- `workerRegexp`: A RegExp to find `new Workers()` calls. The second capture group _must_ capture the provided file name without the quotes.
- `amdFunctionName`: Function name to use instead of AMDs `define`.
- `prependLoader`: A function that determines whether the loader code should be prepended to a certain chunk. Should return true if the load is suppsoed to be prepended.
- `urlLoaderScheme`: Scheme to use when importing workers as URLs. If `undefined`, OMT will use `"omt"`.
