Usage

Creating your own worker

A worker consists of two classes, a factory and a worker created by the factory. Due to the nature ext-parallel works it is expensive to transfer classes and scalars to threads. Workers, are designed to reuse that same thread for as long as there is work. To get an idea of how it works lets have a look at the return worker. First we create the factory, which is a data transfer object to kickstart from the main thread to the worker thread. Anything you put into it will be sent to the worker thread. The less you put in there the better. Once the factory is send to the thread the construct method on it will be called to create the actual worker.

After it created the worker it will listen for incoming work and call the perform method for each work DTO coming in. The ReturnWorker will simply sent the work it received back to the main thread. (This is a very simple and effective way to tests that threads are working as intended, and it is included for anyone wanting to use this package as an easy set of tools to get started.)

Now how the factory creates the worker and what it puts into it is all up to you. You already have the Composer autoloader active so you can create any object like you normally would.
