Example usage of worker-async in a nextjs app

worker-async-nextjs

An example app that demonstrates full-duplex promise-based communication between the browser's main thread and a web worker, using worker-async, next.js, webpack, worker-loader, and typescript.

Main changes from create-next-app

• pages/index.js: Entry point for the application. Calls example.main.ts below to initialize the worker and then makes remote RPC calls to the worker.
• workers/example.main.ts: Initializes the worker from the main thread.
• workers/example.worker.ts: Entry point for the worker thread.
• tsconfig.json: Add typescript support to next.js.
• next.config.js: Add web worker support to next.js.
