$ npm install synckit
Perform async work synchronously in Node.js using worker_threads
with first-class TypeScript and Yarn P'n'P support.
# yarn
yarn add synckit
# npm
npm i synckit
// runner.js
import { createSyncFn } from 'synckit'
// the worker path must be absolute
const syncFn = createSyncFn(require.resolve('./worker'), {
tsRunner: 'tsx', // optional, can be `'ts-node' | 'esbuild-register' | 'esbuild-runner' | 'tsx'`
})
// do whatever you want, you will get the result synchronously!
const result = syncFn(...args)
// worker.js
import { runAsWorker } from 'synckit'
runAsWorker(async (...args) => {
// do expensive work
return result
})
You must make sure, the result
is serializable by Structured Clone Algorithm

. (default as []
), see also node
docsSYNCKIT_GLOBAL_SHIMS
: Whether to enable the default DEFAULT_GLOBAL_SHIMS_PRESET
as globalShims
SYNCKIT_TIMEOUT
: timeout
for performing the async job (no default)SYNCKIT_TS_RUNNER
: Which TypeScript runner to be used, it could be very useful for development, could be 'ts-node' | 'esbuild-register' | 'esbuild-runner' | 'swc' | 'tsx'
, 'ts-node'
is used by default, make sure you have installed them alreadyts-node
If you want to use ts-node
for worker file (a .ts
file), it is supported out of box!
If you want to use a custom tsconfig as project instead of default tsconfig.json
, use TS_NODE_PROJECT
env. Please view ts-node for more details.
If you want to integrate with tsconfig-paths, please view ts-node for more details.

It is about 50x faster than sync-threads
but 10x slower than native for reading the file content itself 1000 times during runtime, and 40x faster than sync-threads
but 10x slower than native for total time on my personal MacBook Pro with 64G M1 Max.
And it's almost 5x faster than deasync
but requires no native bindings or node-gyp
.
See benchmark.cjs and benchmark.esm for more details.
You can try it with running yarn benchmark
by yourself. Here is the benchmark source code.
