Pass large array to node child process

Question

I have complex CPU intensive work I want to do on a large array. Ideally, I\'d like to pass this to the child process.

var spawn = require(\'child_process\'         


        

Answer 1

Use an in memory cache like https://github.com/ptarjan/node-cache, and let the parent process store the array contents with some key, the child process would retreive the contents through that key.
