isolate_manager 6.0.0-rc.4

Create multiple long-lived isolates for the Functions, supports Worker on the Web (with the effective generator) and WASM compilation.

6.0.0-rc.4

• Correctly parse the dart native arguments (Fixes #36).
• [Experiment] Automatically generate the workerMappings by adding the --worker-mappings-experiment=lib/main.dart flag to the generator.
• The code coverage is now using dart test instead of flutter test so we can correctly test the code on both vm and chrome.
• Improve the performaces by improving the way to detect the IsolateState.
• Improve tests.

6.0.0-rc.3

• Use very_good_analysis.
• Improve tests.

Although all tests are passed, many things will be refactored before version 6.0.0 is fully released.

6.0.0-rc.2

• Bump the web package to ^1.0.0.
• Bump the analyzer package to ^6.0.0.
• Update the benchmark result.

Although all tests are passed, many things will be refactored before version 6.0.0 is fully released.

6.0.0-rc.1

• BREAKING CHANGE All the JS files MUST BE recompiled by running dart run isolate_manager:generate.
• Improve the data transfer performances between the Worker and the main App by replacing the json with the Map when sending and receiving data.

Although all tests are passed, many things will be refactored before version 6.0.0 is fully released.

5.5.1

• Change the type of the Map from String to dynamic when converting by dartify.
• Add more tests for the Map.

5.5.0

• Able to create a Map function and use it as a Worker instead of using JSON.

5.4.0

• Set the max number of the queued computations.
• Control how a new computation is added and retrieved from the Queue.
• Compute a priority computation (promote a computation to the top of the Queue so it will be compute as soon as possible).

5.3.0

• Able to add options and flags directly into to Dart to Js Compiler.
• Able to print the debug logs for the dart to js compiler (only if the --debug flag is specified).

5.2.1+3

• Improve README.

5.2.1+1

• Improve README.

5.2.1

• Update the package web version to support a wider range (">=0.5.1 <2.0.0").

• Generate the shared Workers by using the @isolateManagerSharedWorker annotation.

• Able to generate a custom Worker from a customFunction by using the @isolateManagerCustomWorker annotation.

• Improve the README.

• Various improvements and optimizations.

• The generator:

  • The default dart run isolate_manager:generate command will generates both single and shared Workers.
  • Use dart run isolate_manager:generate --single to generate only the single functions (@isolateManagerWorker and @isolateManagerCustomWorker annotations).
  • Use dart run isolate_manager:generate_shared --shared to generate only the shared functions (@isolateManagerSharedWorker annotation).

• This is an rc version because the various improvements may affect some edge cases so I want to make sure it's fully backward-compatible

5.0.0-rc.1

• Bump sdk to ^3.3.0.
• Remove autoInitialize parameter.
• Remove deprecated methods.
• MIGRATION: All isolate functions MUST be update and all Workers MUST be recompiled:
  • If you're using the IsolateManagerFunction.workerFunction, you need to re-generate the JS for the Web Worker (compile from Dart to JS). The IsolateManagerFunction.customFunction will be automatically applied.
  • If you're using the old method, you need to send a initialized signal from an Isolate and a Worker:

    • Custom function of an Isolate: add the controller.initialized(); to the end of the function.

      • Before:

        void customFunction(dynamic params) {
          final controller = IsolateManagerController(params);
          controller.onIsolateMessage.then((value){
            // ...
          });
        }
        

      • After:

        void customFunction(dynamic params) async {
          // Do something sync or async here
        
          final controller = IsolateManagerController(params); 
          controller.onIsolateMessage.then((value){
            // ...
          });
        
          controller.initialized(); // <--
        }
        

    • On the Web Worker: add jsSendMessage(IsolateState.initialized.toJson()); to the end of the main method.

      • Before:

        void main() {
          callbackToStream('onmessage', (MessageEvent e) {
            return js_util.getProperty(e, 'data');
          }).listen((message) {
            // ...
          });  
        }
        

      • After:

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

4.3.1

• Export the IsolateState.

4.3.0

• Support WASM.
• Add benchmark tests.
• Deprecate the IsolateFunctionHelper in favor of the IsolateManagerFunction.
• Improve the IsolateManagerFunction.workerFunction.
• [Experiment and Optional] Able to send an initialized signal from the isolate to the main app to ensure that the isolate is ready to receive the messages from the main app. The Migration Steps:
  • Step 1:

    • If you're using the IsolateManagerFunction.workerFunction, you need to re-generate the JS for the Web Worker (compile from Dart to JS). The IsolateManagerFunction.customFunction will be automatically applied.

    • If you're using the old method, you need to send a initialized signal from an Isolate and a Worker:

      • Custom function of an Isolate: add the controller.initialized(); to the end of the function.

        • Before:

          void customFunction(dynamic params) {
            final controller = IsolateManagerController(params);
            controller.onIsolateMessage.then((value){
              // ...
            });
          }
          

        • After:

          void customFunction(dynamic params) async {
            // Do something sync or async here
          
            final controller = IsolateManagerController(params); 
            controller.onIsolateMessage.then((value){
              // ...
            });
          
            controller.initialized(); // <--
          }
          

      • On the Web Worker: add jsSendMessage(IsolateState.initialized.toJson()); to the end of the main method.

        • Before:

          void main() {
            callbackToStream('onmessage', (MessageEvent e) {
              return js_util.getProperty(e, 'data');
            }).listen((message) {
              // ...
            });  
          }
          

        • After:

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

    • Step 2: Update the create and createCustom method:

      • Before:

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

      • After:

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

  IsolateManager<int> isolateManager = IsolateManager.create(
    fibonacci,
    concurrent: 4,
  );
  
  await isolateManager.start();
  

  2. Use start without await:

  IsolateManager<int> isolateManager = IsolateManager.create(
    fibonacci,
    concurrent: 4,
  );
  
  isolateManager.start();
  

  3. Use start when creating the instance:

  IsolateManager<int> isolateManager = IsolateManager.create(
    fibonacci,
    concurrent: 4,
  )..start();
