Using the thread storm library is simple and straight forward. Below is a simple example. First, require the library.

threadStorm = require('./threadStorm.js')

The next part might seem a little strange, but you need to return if threadStorm.isMaster flag is false;

if(!threadStorm.isMaster) { return; }

Start the library and wait for the background threads to be ready.

` threadStorm.ee.on('ready', function() { ...do something });

threadStorm.start(); `

Once the library is ready you can run tasks on the background threads as easy as

threadStorm.runTask("./someFile.js",{someKey: "some value"});

The first arg is the path and name of a JS files of code u want run.

The second arg will be passed as the first argument to your function.

The second arg passed to your function will be the module.exports of a job runner which are methods as follows: taskCommunicator (to pass data back to your main code) completed (to be called when your background code finished. If you ever want it to finish and free up the thread for other jobs.)

you can also listen to the following events from threadStorm.ee

msg - get a message from the task running

taskComplete - called when your tasks completes
