A Webpack loader that automatically moves a JavaScript module and its dependencies into a Web Worker, exposing exported functions as asynchronous RPC proxies. It bundles a tiny RPC implementation and works seamlessly with async/await syntax.

Use cases

• run expensive computations off the main thread in a browser app
• move a module into a web worker without writing worker boilerplate
• call worker functions as if they were normal async functions
• offload CPU-intensive loops from the UI thread
• bundle worker code with webpack including its dependencies
• inline a web worker as a blob in a webpack build

When to choose

• you use Webpack and want minimal-effort Web Worker integration
• you want exported module functions automatically proxied as async worker calls
• you need worker code bundled with its dependencies

When to avoid

• you don't use Webpack as your bundler
• you need fine-grained control over worker messaging or transferable objects
• the project needs actively maintained tooling for modern bundlers like Vite
