NativeScript Task Dispatcher is a NativeScript plugin aimed to ease the execution of mobile app's task definition and execution workflows in the background, regardless of whether the app is visible to the user or not. It abstracts all the platform-specific details, leaving a clear and easy-to-use, yet powerful, API for task development and the definition of dependencies between tasks by means of an event-driven software architecture. This plugin uses native mechanisms to carry out its function. All the code becomes executed in the main thread, we don't use web workers. It is not intended to free the main thread from intensive workloads, but rather to allow tasks to be performed while the user is not actively using the application. Latest source code is available on GitHub, jointly with installation and usage instructions: https://github.com/GeoTecINIT/nativescript-task-dispatcher
