								# AsyncWorker
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`Napi::AsyncWorker` is an abstract class that you can subclass to remove many of
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the tedious tasks of moving data between the event loop and worker threads. This
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								class internally handles all the details of creating and executing an asynchronous
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								operation.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Once created, execution is requested by calling `Napi::AsyncWorker::Queue`. When
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								a thread is available for execution the `Napi::AsyncWorker::Execute` method will
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								be invoked.  Once `Napi::AsyncWorker::Execute` completes either
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`Napi::AsyncWorker::OnOK` or `Napi::AsyncWorker::OnError` will be invoked.  Once
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the `Napi::AsyncWorker::OnOK` or `Napi::AsyncWorker::OnError` methods are
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								complete the `Napi::AsyncWorker` instance is destructed.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								For the most basic use, only the `Napi::AsyncWorker::Execute` method must be
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								implemented in a subclass.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Methods
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### Env
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Requests the environment in which the async worker has been initially created.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```cpp
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Napi::Env Napi::AsyncWorker::Env() const;
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Returns the environment in which the async worker has been created.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### Queue
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Requests that the work be queued for execution.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```cpp
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								void Napi::AsyncWorker::Queue();
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### Cancel
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Cancels queued work if it has not yet been started. If it has already started
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								executing, it cannot be cancelled.  If cancelled successfully neither
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`OnOK` nor `OnError` will be called.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```cpp
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								void Napi::AsyncWorker::Cancel();
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### Receiver
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```cpp
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Napi::ObjectReference& Napi::AsyncWorker::Receiver();
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Returns the persistent object reference of the receiver object set when the async
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								worker was created.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### Callback
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```cpp
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Napi::FunctionReference& Napi::AsyncWorker::Callback();
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Returns the persistent function reference of the callback set when the async
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								worker was created. The returned function reference will receive the results of
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the computation that happened in the `Napi::AsyncWorker::Execute` method, unless
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the default implementation of `Napi::AsyncWorker::OnOK` or
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`Napi::AsyncWorker::OnError` is overridden.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### SuppressDestruct
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```cpp
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								void Napi::AsyncWorker::SuppressDestruct();
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Prevents the destruction of the `Napi::AsyncWorker` instance upon completion of
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the `Napi::AsyncWorker::OnOK` callback.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### SetError
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Sets the error message for the error that happened during the execution. Setting
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								an error message will cause the `Napi::AsyncWorker::OnError` method to be
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								invoked instead of `Napi::AsyncWorker::OnOK` once the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`Napi::AsyncWorker::Execute` method completes.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```cpp
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								void Napi::AsyncWorker::SetError(const std::string& error);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- `[in] error`: The reference to the string that represent the message of the error.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### Execute
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								This method is used to execute some tasks out of the **event loop** on a libuv
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								worker thread. Subclasses must implement this method and the method is run on
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								a thread other than that running the main event loop.  As the method is not
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								running on the main event loop, it must avoid calling any methods from node-addon-api
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								or running any code that might invoke JavaScript. Instead, once this method is
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								complete any interaction through node-addon-api with JavaScript should be implemented
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								in the `Napi::AsyncWorker::OnOK` method which runs on the main thread and is
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								invoked when the `Napi::AsyncWorker::Execute` method completes.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```cpp
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								virtual void Napi::AsyncWorker::Execute() = 0;
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### OnOK
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								This method is invoked when the computation in the `Execute` method ends.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								The default implementation runs the Callback optionally provided when the AsyncWorker class
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								was created. The callback will by default receive no arguments. To provide arguments,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								override the `GetResult()` method.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```cpp
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								virtual void Napi::AsyncWorker::OnOK();
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### GetResult
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								This method returns the arguments passed to the Callback invoked by the default
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`OnOK()` implementation. The default implementation returns an empty vector,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								providing no arguments to the Callback.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```cpp
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								virtual std::vector<napi_value> Napi::AsyncWorker::GetResult(Napi::Env env);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### OnError
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								This method is invoked after `Napi::AsyncWorker::Execute` completes if an error
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								occurs while `Napi::AsyncWorker::Execute` is running and C++ exceptions are
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								enabled or if an error was set through a call to `Napi::AsyncWorker::SetError`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								The default implementation calls the callback provided when the `Napi::AsyncWorker`
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								class was created, passing in the error as the first parameter.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```cpp
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								virtual void Napi::AsyncWorker::OnError(const Napi::Error& e);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### Destroy
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								This method is invoked when the instance must be deallocated. If
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`SuppressDestruct()` was not called then this method will be called after either
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`OnError()` or `OnOK()` complete. The default implementation of this method
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								causes the instance to delete itself using the `delete` operator. The method is
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								provided so as to ensure that instances allocated by means other than the `new`
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								operator can be deallocated upon work completion.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```cpp
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								virtual void Napi::AsyncWorker::Destroy();
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 |

							 | 
						||

								Creates a new `Napi::AsyncWorker`.
							 |

						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
|

							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								information exposed by the async_hooks API.

| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||

								Napi::AsyncWorker::operator napi_async_work() const;
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Returns the N-API napi_async_work wrapped by the `Napi::AsyncWorker` object. This
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								can be used to mix usage of the C N-API and node-addon-api.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Example
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								The first step to use the `Napi::AsyncWorker` class is to create a new class that
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								inherits from it and implement the `Napi::AsyncWorker::Execute` abstract method.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Typically input to your worker will be saved within class' fields generally
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								passed in through its constructor.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								When the `Napi::AsyncWorker::Execute` method completes without errors the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`Napi::AsyncWorker::OnOK` function callback will be invoked. In this function the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								results of the computation will be reassembled and returned back to the initial
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								JavaScript context.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`Napi::AsyncWorker` ensures that all the code in the `Napi::AsyncWorker::Execute`
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								function runs in the background out of the **event loop** thread and at the end
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the `Napi::AsyncWorker::OnOK` or `Napi::AsyncWorker::OnError` function will be
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								called and are executed as part of the event loop.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								The code below show a basic example of `Napi::AsyncWorker` the implementation:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```cpp
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								#include<napi.h>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								#include <chrono>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								#include <thread>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								use namespace Napi;
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								class EchoWorker : public AsyncWorker {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    public:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        EchoWorker(Function& callback, std::string& echo)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        : AsyncWorker(callback), echo(echo) {}
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        ~EchoWorker() {}
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    // This code will be executed on the worker thread
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    void Execute() {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        // Need to simulate cpu heavy task
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::seconds(1));
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    }
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    void OnOK() {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        HandleScope scope(Env());
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        Callback().Call({Env().Null(), String::New(Env(), echo)});
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    }
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    private:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								        std::string echo;
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								};
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								The `EchoWorker`'s contructor calls the base class' constructor to pass in the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								callback that the `Napi::AsyncWorker` base class will store persistently. When
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								the work on the `Napi::AsyncWorker::Execute` method is done the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`Napi::AsyncWorker::OnOk` method is called and the results return back to
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								JavaScript invoking the stored callback with its associated environment.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								The following code shows an example on how to create and use an `Napi::AsyncWorker`
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```cpp
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								#include<napi.h>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								// Include EchoWorker class
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								// ..
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								use namespace Napi;
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Value Echo(const CallbackInfo& info) {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    // You need to check the input data here
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    Function cb = info[1].As<Function>();
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    std::string in = info[0].As<String>();
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    EchoWorker* wk = new EchoWorker(cb, in);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    wk->Queue();
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    return info.Env().Undefined();
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Using the implementation of a `Napi::AsyncWorker` is straight forward. You only
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								need to create a new instance and pass to its constructor the callback you want to
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								execute when your asynchronous task ends and other data you need for your
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								computation. Once created the only other action you have to do is to call the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`Napi::AsyncWorker::Queue` method that will queue the created worker for execution.
