isolated_object

Published by 🇸🇪serverpod.dev · v0.1.0 · released 2 months ago · BSD-3-CLAUSE License

First published 2 months ago.

Wraps an object in a dedicated isolate and forwards method calls to it, so timer- or event-loop-driven work (e.g. progress spinners) keeps running even when the calling isolate's event loop is blocked. Dependency-free.
