Show HN: The webworkers driven UI framework: neo.mjs v1.2.0 release announcement
- jhunter1016 6y agoI've been a huge fan of webworkers in theory, but I've hated implementing them. The (until recent) lack of module support was one problem, but just getting it all set up, talking to the main thread, etc—it was all so daunting. This looks promising, though!
- tobiu 6y agoHa, I know the feeling. Rich & I started with the workers implementation back in 2015. No console errors ;) What was a huge help is the remotes API (remote method access). example: https://github.com/neomjs/neo/blob/dev/src/main/addon/Stylesheet.mjs#L25 https://github.com/neomjs/neo/blob/dev/src/main/addon/Styles... createStyleSheet() is defined inside this class which (optionally) runs inside the main thread and is exposed as a remote method to the App worker. Now, when you are working inside the App worker scope, you can simply use it as a promise: Neo.main.addons.Stylesheet.createStyleSheet(opts).then(data) { // do something }
- keckeroo 6y agoHave been following this budding framework for a bit now and finally got my first app up and running with a single command. I have to admit it was very simple to get going, now to dive into the docs and see what's under the hood!
- tobiu 6y agoQuick heads up, just updated: https://github.com/neomjs/workspace https://github.com/neomjs/workspace So, in case "npx neo-app" does not work in your env, you can just clone the workspace and go from there. Option 3 is to clone the neo.mjs repo, and use the create-app program.
