Implement support for a blob url instead of a path

[stevenvachon]

similar to function-thread.

If you use the vm module, it already takes a string. As for Worker, you could use a data-url.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I guess you mean to send a script containing functions instead of passing the url of a script. A single function can already be executed in a worker easily without even having to stringify it (see docs).

[stevenvachon]

Thanks!

Why do you close the issue? Do you only need passing a single function?

[stevenvachon]

The exec() method provides the functionality that I was after. I'd just missed it when I skimmed through the readme.

[josdejong]

ah ok perfect! let's keep it closed then.

If anyone is interested in passing a complete script as string we can reopen this issue.

Actually, I think I got confused. This is what I'd originally requested:

workerpool.pool("data:application/javascript;utf-8,(function(){…})()")

so that we don't need to have a separate "workerpool.js" file

[josdejong]

Yes exactly, so you can bundle your worker file in the main file and load it as a string. That can be useful I think.
