approx
Synopsis
If you'd like to do something every 10 seconds, you'd do something like this (or rather, use setInterval
instead):
function something() {
// ...
setTimeout(something, 10 * 1000)
}
// kick it off
something()
But if you'd like to do something approximately every 10s:
var approx = require('approx')
function something() {
// ...
setTimeout(something, approx(10 * 1000))
}
// kick it off
something()
This will run something()
approximately every 10 seconds. ie. it will run somewhere between 5 and 15 seconds,
determined by Math.random()
.
Currently there is only one algorithm included in this package but could be expanded to provide more in the future.
