How can I require local file for workers?

[zhaoyao91]

Say, how can I broadcast such code in workers?

const f = require('../lib/my_function')
...

If you want to just execute a function from a module, you don't need to broadcast in order to use it. Simply do zone.execute('../lib/my_module', 'my_function', [args]);.

Certainly you can do zone.broadcast('f = require("../lib/my_function");, which will set f in global.

The function file requires object-hash, which can't be loaded by workers. I don't know why.

Please note that napajs by now doesn't support all node modules, since many of Node.js core modules are not supported in Napa.js workers yet. So module that directly or indirectly depends on unsupported Node.js APIs cannot be loaded in workers.

Please see https://github.com/Microsoft/napajs/blob/master/docs/api/node-api.md

That's quite a big limitation. Anyway, thanks for help.
