isolate_contactor 4.2.0

An easy way to create a new Isolate, keep it active and communicate with it (supports `Worker` and `WASM` on the Web platform).

4.2.0

• Migrate to package:web from dart:html to support wasm.
• Experiment: Able to send an initialized signal from the Isolate to the main app. The migration steps:

  • Step 1:

    • Advanced method:

      • Before:

      final channel = IsolateContactorController<double, List<double>>(params);
      channel.onIsolateMessage.listen((message) {
        channel.sendResult(add(message));
      });
      

      • After:

      final channel = IsolateContactorController<double, List<double>>(params);
      channel.onIsolateMessage.listen((message) {
        channel.sendResult(add(message));
      });
      
      channel.initialized(); // <--
      

    • Worker on the Web:

      • Before:

      main() {
        callbackToStream('onmessage', (html.MessageEvent e) {
          return js_util.getProperty(e, 'data');
        }).listen((message) async {
          jsSendMessage(add(message));
        });
      }    
      

      • After:

      main() async {
        // Do something sync or async here
              
        callbackToStream('onmessage', (html.MessageEvent e) {
          return js_util.getProperty(e, 'data');
        }).listen((message) async {
          jsSendMessage(add(message));
        });
      
        jsSendMessage(IsolateState.initialized.toJson()); // <--
      }
      

  • Step 2: Update the create and createOwnIsolate method:

    • Before:

    final isolate = await IsolateContactor.create(
      function, 
      workerName: 'function',
    );
    

    • After:

    final isolate = await IsolateContactor.create(
      function, 
      workerName: 'function',
      autoMarkAsInitialized: false, // <--
    );
    

4.1.0

• Use if (dart.library.io) instead of if (dart.library.html) for more compatible.
• Deprecate the createOwnIsolate in favor of the createCustom.
• Add typedefs: IsolateFunction, CustomIsolateFunction, IsolateConverter.
• Remove worker folder.
• The README is cleared and isn't maintained anymore. Read in the isolate_manager instead.

4.0.1

• Better way to check valid IsolateException.
• Improve tests.

4.0.0

• Add sendResultError to IsolateContactorController to make it easier to send the Exception from the Isolate to main app.
• IsolateException parameters are now Object and StackTrace.
• Add parameter type as P and change return type to R.
• Add return type as void to onDispose method.
• Change isolateParams from dynamic to Object?.

3.0.0

• Bumped Dart sdk to >=2.18.0 <4.0.0.
• Update error_function.js name in test.

2.1.0

• Support try-catch block for all platforms including Worker on Web.
• Update worker.dart to support try-catch block.
• Increase min SDK to 2.15.0.

2.0.2+1

• Improve pub scores.

2.0.2

• On Flutter >3.3.0 - @pragma('vm:entry-point') anotation must be added to all methods that you want to use for isolation. Read README for more information.
• Add @pragma('vm:entry-point') to internal method.
• Use stream_channel: ^2.1.0 to avoid conflicts with flutter_test.

2.0.1

• Update worker.dart script for the Worker.
• Update README.

2.0.0+1

• Improve function & parameter headers
• Update dependencies

2.0.0

• NO BREAKING CHANGE
• Add Worker for Web platform (real Isolate on Web). Read README for more details.

1.7.0

• BREAKING CHANGE: Change parameter name from isolateParams to initialParams for createOwnIsolate.
• Now you can get the initialParams when creating an own isolate:

void isolateFunction(dynamic params) {
  var controller = IsolateContactorController(params, onDispose: () {});
  var initialParams = controller.initialParams;
  controller.onIsolateMessage.listen((message) {
    // Do your stuff here
  });
}

1.6.1

• Added IsolateContactorException, throw it when error occurs on sendMessage method.
• Return Future for dispose method.

1.6.0

• Now you can await for the result when using isolateContactor.sendMessage.
• Improved README and Test.

1.5.1+1

• Improved result parser.
• Improved README for allowed return type version, Improved Test and Example.

1.5.0+1

• Now you can add return type for the stream listener. Example:

// `fibonacci` have `int` return type
IsolateContactor<int> isolateContactor = await IsolateContactor.create(fibonacci);

// `intEvent` will be `int` type
isolateContactorFuture.onMessage.listen((intEvent) {
  // intEvent
});

// `fibonacci` have `int` return type
int fibonacci(dynamic n) {
  if (n <= 2) return 1;

  int n1 = 0, n2 = 1, n3 = 1;

  for (int i = 2; i <= n; i++) {
    n3 = n1 + n2;
    n1 = n2;
    n2 = n3;
  }

  return n3.round();
}

• Add onDispose parameter to IsolateContactorController, this parameter allows you to add your own dispose method inside isolateFunction for .createOwnIsolate.

1.4.0

• Fixed issue in internalIsolateFunction makes this function run twice.

1.3.0

• Updated dependencies.
• Improved function headers.

1.2.1

• Update dependencies
• Update homepage
• Cleanup

1.2.0+2

• Update homepage

• Update README

1.2.0

• Fixed issue with the restart method.

• BREAKING CHANGE:
  • Temporarily removed the pause and resume methods.
  • The debugMode in the create() and createOwnIsolate() methods was refactored to named optional parameters.

1.1.0+1

• Remove flutter dependencies to support dart native
• Add a better description

1.0.0

• Support web platform with limited features. The package use Future to provide the same features to Isolate but it doesn't have pause, resume, restart methods. I'll try to bring the same action with Isolate as much as possible.
• Support Future when creating build-in method. More information please read Readme.
• BREAKING CHANGE:

  • Create your own isolate:

    Before:

    void isolateFunction(List<dynamic> params) {
      final channel = IsolateChannel.connectSend(params.last);
      channel.stream.listen((rawMessage) {
        final message = IsolateContactor.getMessage(rawMessage);
        if (message != null) {
          // Do more stuff here
    
          // Send the result to your [onMessage] stream
          channel.sendResult(add(message[0], message[1]));
        }
    }
    

    Now:

    void isolateFunction(dynamic params) {
      final channel = IsolateContactorController(params);
      channel.onIsolateMessage.listen((message) {
        // Do more stuff here
    
        // Send the result to your [onMessage] stream
        channel.sendResult(add(message[0], message[1]));
      });
    }
