A webpack loader that registers a JavaScript file as a Web Worker, allowing workers to be imported as modules in webpack 4 builds. It is deprecated for webpack 5, which has built-in Web Worker support.
Use cases
- run background scripts as web workers in webpack 4
- import a worker file as a module in a webpack build
- inline a web worker as a blob
- bundle web workers with custom filenames and public paths
When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy webpack 4 project that needs bundled web workers
When to avoid
- you are using webpack 5, which supports web workers natively
- you are not using webpack as your bundler
