What is this?

A simple library to manage timeouts and intervals.

How to use it?

First you need to import it in your project

The require way

let { createInterval, destroyInterval, TimeUnit } = require("timer-creator");

The import way

import { createTimeout, destroyTimeout, TimeUnit } from "timer-creator";

Then use it to establish a periodic callback execution until condition

  import { createInterval, destroyInterval, TimeUnit } from "timer-creator";

  const TIMER_NAME = 'myIntervalName'

  function myFunction() {
    // YOUR OWN CODE AND STUFF
    hasConditionMeeted && destroyInterval(TIMER_NAME)
  }

  createInterval(TIMER_NAME, myFunction, 2 * TimeUnit.MINUTE)

Or one time callback execution

  import { createTimeout, TimeUnit } from "timer-creator";

  function myFunction(arg1, arg2) {
    // YOUR OWN CODE AND STUFF
  }

  createTimeout('myTimeoutName', myFunction, 30 * TimeUnit.SECOND, [arg1, arg2])

existInterval

Checks whether exist interval with given name.

Parameters

• name string interval name

Returns boolean true or false wheter interval is stored or not

getInterval

Retrieves interval value for given name.

Parameters

• name string interval name

Returns number interval number reference

createInterval

Creates and _store interval object with given name, to execute callback function on the waitTime specified with given args.

Parameters

• waitTime number the waiting time for the interval
• args (string | Array | null) arguments to be passed to the callback function

destroyInterval

Destroy interval with given name and removes it from _store.

Parameters

• name string interval name
