This is a demo showing sort for large array (5 milion numbers) with or w/o WebWorker.
Clock stops when UI blocking happens.

Usage

Basic example

import { useWebWorkerFn } from '@vueuse/core'

const { workerFn } = useWebWorkerFn(() => {
  // some heavy works to do in web worker
})

import { useWebWorkerFn } from '@vueuse/core'

const { workerFn } = useWebWorkerFn(() => {
  // some heavy works to do in web worker
})

With dependencies

import { useWebWorkerFn } from '@vueuse/core'

const { workerFn, workerStatus, workerTerminate } = useWebWorkerFn(
  dates => dates.sort(dateFns.compareAsc),
  {
    timeout: 50000,
    dependencies: [
      'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/date-fns/1.30.1/date_fns.js', // dateFns
    ],
  },
)
