somehow_i_manage 1.1.4

A dart package making working with Isolates easier and manageable. It supports interprocess communication

THis package helps it easier to work with threads i.e. Isolates to make task distribuion easier

Features

1. Pausing work
2. Inter Isolate communication

Getting started

Add the package to your project by using this command

dart pub add somehow_i_manage

Usage

To use this package create a worker like so

IWorker worker = IWorker.create(name: "name");

You can add callbacks for receiving messages from isolates like below

IWorker iWorker = await IWorker.create("create-test", onReceiveMessage: (message, _) {
print("message received");
expect(message.tag, "Selfie");
});

IWorker iWorker2 = await IWorker.create("create-test-2", onReceiveMessage: (message, _) {
print("message received 2");
expect(message.tag, "Selfie");
});

iWorker.sendMessage(sendPort: iWorker2.messageSendPort, tag: "Selfie");
await Future.delayed(Duration(seconds: 1));
print("Sent message");

Do not forget to dispose the worker when done using it

IWorker iWorker = await IWorker.create("create-test");

//computation here

iWorker.dispose();

This makes it easy to spawn Isolates and keep them alive for future jobs
