async_wasm_task

async_wasm_task is a Rust library that provides an API for managing asynchronous tasks and Rust Futures in a JavaScript environment, closely resembling the familiar patterns of tokio::task. It is designed to allow async Rust code to work seamlessly with JavaScript in web applications, leveraging web workers for concurrent task execution.

Features

• Familiar API: If you're familiar with tokio::task, you'll feel right at home with async_wasm_task. It provides similar functionality and follows the same patterns for spawning and managing asynchronous tasks.

• Web Worker Integration: async_wasm_task adapts to the JavaScript environment by utilizing web workers under the hood. This means you can write Rust code that runs concurrently and efficiently in web applications.

• Spawn Async and Blocking Tasks: You can spawn both asynchronous and blocking tasks. Asynchronous tasks allow you to perform non-blocking operations, while blocking tasks are suitable for compute-heavy or synchronous tasks.

Usage

Add this library to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
async_wasm_task = "[latest-version]"

Here's a simple example of how to use async_wasm_task:

use async_wasm_task::{spawn, spawn_blocking};

async fn start() {
    let async_join_handle = spawn(async {
        // Your asynchronous code here
    });
    let blocking_join_handle = spawn_blocking(|| {
        // Your blocking code here
    });
    let async_result = async_join_handle.await;
    let blocking_result = blocking_join_handle.await;
    // Handle the results after that...
}
