How to transfer result buffers

[stevexbritton]

I'm sure this is a silly question, but how do I transfer, instead of copy, function result values?

const buffer = new Uint8Array([1, 2, 3]).buffer;
const result = await thing(Comlink.transfer(buffer, [buffer]))

If result is also a Uint8Array how do I specify I want it to be transferred and not copied?

Thanks

You have to use Comlink.transfer() in the implementation of the function. The caller cannot decide whether to copy or transfer. Only the function itself can. Does that answer your question?

Yes, thanks. I said it was a silly question, I don't know why I didn't think of just wrapping the result value on a Comlink.transfer() call.
