NextTick Polyfill

Introduction

This project provides a cross-browser compatible implementation of the nextTick function from Vue. nextTick is a common JavaScript pattern used to defer the execution of a function until after the current stack has completed but before the next event loop iteration, commonly utilized for DOM updates, state synchronization, among other scenarios. This implementation automatically detects the runtime environment (browser/Node.js) and selects the most appropriate asynchronous scheduling mechanism to ensure efficient operation across different environments.

Features

• Broad Compatibility: Supports modern browsers (including IE) as well as potential Node.js environments.
• Optimal Strategy Selection: Automatically chooses between Promise, MutationObserver, setImmediate, or setTimeout based on the environment for deferred execution, ensuring optimal performance.
• Exception Friendly: Enhances exception handling logic to properly capture and log exceptions thrown within callback functions, facilitating debugging.
• Type-Safe: Optimizes type definitions, reducing the use of any types to enhance code quality and maintainability.

Usage

Installation

npm install @cmchu/next-tick --save

Example

import nextTick from '@cmchu/next-tick';

// Use nextTick to execute a callback asynchronously
nextTick(() => {
  console.log('This will be logged asynchronously.');
});

// Execute callback with context
nextTick(function logWithContext() {
  console.log(this); // Outputs the context object
}, { name: 'Context Object' });

API

nextTick(cb: Function, ctx?: Object)

• cb: (Optional) The function to be executed later, taking no arguments.
• ctx: (Optional) The context object passed to the callback function.
