VueUse provides the useWebWorkerFn composable which provides a simple syntax to run heavy computations in a Web Worker without blocking the UI: 1import { useWebWorkerFn } from '@vueuse/core' 2 3const { workerFn } = useWebWorkerFn(() => { 4 // some heavy works to do in web worker 5}) Before you start using this function, I suggest you read the Web Workers documentation.
