Web workers introduced in Html5 provide a background mechanism to perform multi-threaded tasks. They add the ability to perform computationally heavy tasks like downloading or mathematical computation without hanging the user interface. Although AngularJS and web workers are both intended for asynchronous execution, both serve different purposes and should be used in conjunction. Angular JS Promises Deferred and promises set a reference to a result yet not available. Once resolve is called the result becomes available and the appropriate action is taken based on the result in the .then section. Web Workers Web workers on the other hand are used to perform actual work asynchronously. They are relatively light weight as they use operating system threads and hence are better suitable for computationally heavy, long running or periodic tasks. Getting Started First we set up the index.html page where testworker is the state used in the state provider. Clicking on Start Web Worker will l
