Simple utility for creating resumable timeouts written in TypeScript. Works both in Node and browser environments.

Installation

Via Yarn

yarn add @wavevision/timer

or npm

npm install --save @wavevision/timer

Usage

Create your own timer.

import timer from '@wavevision/timer';

timer(() => alert('Time is up!'), 1000);
// this timer will be auto-started
timer(() => alert('Hello!'), 500, true);

The returned object exposes following functions:

• clear(): void – clears the timeout
• pause(): number – pauses the timeout, returns remaining time
• remains(): number – returns remaining time
• restart(): void – clears and starts the timeout over again
• resume(): void – resumes the timeout (or starts if not running)
• running(): boolean – returns whether the timeout is running at the moment
• start(): void – starts the timeout (or resumes if paused)
