synthetic asynchronous processing in javascript
(Now with extra anti-freeze!)
Browsers are synchronous. They have limits & can be slow. thaw.js defers processes
until the browser is ready for them.
thaw.js makes frozen browsers thaw(.js).
Thaw.js is like the idea of javascript promises only tied to time.
You could, if you don't care about the DOM. Unfortunately the DOM does exist, and it is synchronous. Web workers do not have access to anything synchronous, including the DOM.
You are in one right now! Scroll to bottom to see.
There are 2 million div elements being appended to this very document from
three separate thaw calls happening right now, 6 million total. Does your browser seem slow or sluggish? Of
course not! It is thaw(.js)ing.
With Functions:
new Thaw([
function() {},
function() {}
]);
With Arrays:
new Thaw([], {
each:function(i) {
//this = item of array
},
done: function() {
//this = item of array
}
});
As a block or Thaws (can be even faster in some situations):
new Thaw.Block({
each:function(i) {
//this = item of array
},
done: function() {
//this = item of array
}
}, 200);
add({*}item)
insert({*}item)
addArray({Array}items)
insertArray({Array}items)
stop()
