Thread.js

Javascript async the way I like it.

Installation

npm install async-threading

Usage

let Thread = require('async-threading');

###- Tasks

Same scope as block:

let callEverySecond = new Thread( () => {
    console.log(callEverySecond.fireTimes + ' seconds have passed.');
}, 1000);

Anonymous scope:

let callEverySecond = new Thread( function () {
    console.log(this.fireTimes + ' seconds have passed.');
}, 1000);

• Methods for task Threads

  • .toggle() Sets the Thread to the opposite state.

  • .kill() Stops and sets the Thread to undefined.

These will be called ever 1000ms (one second).

• Warning: I do not recomend doing new Thread without assigning it to a variable, because you will not be able to toggle or kill it.

###- Delayed Asynchronous Statements and Functions

Asynchronous delayed statement:

Thread.spawn( () => {
    console.log('1 second has passed.');
}, 1000);

Anonymous asynchronous delayed function:

Thread.spawn( function () {
    console.log('1 second has passed.');
}, 1000);

These will execute 1000ms (one second) after they are declared

###- Asynchronous Statements and Functions

Asynchronous statement:

Thread.do( () => {
    console.log('Code has been executed asynchronously.');
});

Anonymous asynchronous function:

Thread.do( function () {
    console.log('Code has been executed asynchronously.');
});

These will execute immediately and asynchronously once they are called.
