thread-loader

Install

npm install --save-dev thread-loader

Usage

Put this loader in front of other loaders. The following loaders run in a worker pool.

Loaders running in a worker pool are limited. Examples:

  • Loaders cannot emit files.
  • Loaders cannot use custom loader API (i. e. by plugins).
  • Loaders cannot access the webpack options.

Each worker is separate node.js process, which has an overhead of ~600ms. There is also an overhead of inter-process communication.

Use this loader only for expensive operations!

Examples

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.js$/,
        include: path.resolve("src"),
        use: [
          "thread-loader",
          "expensive-loader"
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

with options

use: [
  {
    loader: "thread-loader",
    options: {
      // the number of spawned workers, defaults to number of cpus
      workers: 2,

      // number of jobs a worker processes in parallel
      // defaults to 20
      workerParallelJobs: 50,

      // additional node.js arguments
      workerNodeArgs: ['--max-old-space-size', '1024'],

      // timeout for killing the worker processes when idle
      // defaults to 500 (ms)
      // can be set to Infinity for watching builds to keep workers alive
      poolTimeout: 2000,

      // number of jobs the poll distributes to the workers
      // defaults to 200
      // decrease of less efficient but more fair distribution
      poolParallelJobs: 50
    }
  },
  "expensive-loader"
]
