Webpack and Workers - HTTP203

Key Takeaways

we need a name for the segment what what is it is it the 2 minute speed run of the web 2 minute speed run that's pretty good because I was thinking of like HTTP to a free into but it's just too many numbers then really isn't it drive it home so 2 minutes you're gonna talk about a thing and what you're going to talk about I'm gonna talk about my recent explorations with web heck and workers you have two minutes go work us yes I'm aware of them still I think this is a copy of exactly what we said in the previous episode but now imagine you want to have module loading in workers you can have that that's the import function but it's not available in workers anywhere yes yes so for nowt you can't okay but ok cool let's do something like roll up oh hi Pat where you basically transform the syntax into just like in lining the things or loading some with some other mechanism well cuz your input script the main threat has script tags so you can emulate the behavior yes I look into web pack and I was trying to build a little app it has logic in the worker and UI in the main thread and had some modules that were shared between the main thread and the worker oh right and this is something you can deal with because you can have you say your main page just including it as a script tag yeah or dynamic import and your worker can use that horrible import script synchronous function but it wasn't it so yes and my thought was what pet should figure this out right like you should see oh there's a shared code let's put this in a separate files using its comments drinking stuff so exactly it realizes how here's the common bit I into a separate file right from resolved you would think not quite so that's a slight difference so because in web pack you have entry points and these entry points are assumed that you take one of them at a time but with a worker you actually take an entry point and the worker entry point at the same time so there's a different assumption because you can actually between entry points usually webpack doesn't put common modules in a share say so this is when you're using webpack to do the work magic for you yeah what if you just do we've got two entry points one doesn't know that there are shared modules all these haven't figured out so now I have put in an issue in a more discuss with the webhead people how we can support workers because I feel like I want to make 2018 about workers so we need support in tooling for that that was very good timing because ah nicely done music to my ears nicely it's not as good Christmas if I set that off again do you want to just beat box and then we could dump that I was home I'll give you maybe ten maybe five seconds five four three two one
