pelt

Do a task repeatedly.

How to use

Start a task like so:

import pelt from 'pelt'
pelt(1000, () => console.log('Hello there!'))

Do something more interesting, like incrementing a value:

pelt(1000, 0, value => ++value)

Whatever is returned from the task will be used as input for the next repetition.

The return value

pelt returns a value that can be manipulated to communicate with the task.

const p = pelt(1000, 0, value => ++value)
p(7)  // will set value to 7

const p = pelt(1000, 0, value => ++value)
p()  // will stop the task

const p = pelt(1000, {value: 99}, obj => ++obj.value)
p.value = 7  // will set value to 7
console.log(p.value)  // prints whatever is in value
