batch-timer

A global batch timer to relieve timer congestion issues in web-browsers.

Usage

BatchTimer.addTask(function task, timeout, options)

Adds a task to the batch timer's queue. If a timeout of 0 is supplied, the task will be executed during the next cycle.

BatchTimer.addTask(function () { 

	/* Your work goes here */ 
}, 100, { /* options */});

Options

reoccuring
Type: Boolean Default: false

Indicates that the task is to be scheduled to run on a reoccuring basis.

retryOnFailure
Type: Boolean Default: false

Indicates that a task should be re-executed again during the next cycle if it fails. If it fails again, it will be removed and no longer scheduled for execution.

retryThreshold
Type: Boolean Default: 0

The number of times a failed task will be scheduled for re-execution during the next cycle before it will be removed and no longer scheduled.

BatchTimer.count()

Returns the number of tasks in the queue.

BatchTimer.reset()

Clears all the tasks that have been registered with the batch time for future execution.

BatchTimer.setBatchExecutor(batchExecutorFn)

Supply your own context for which the tasks to be executed within. This can be particularly useful when developing with Angular 1.x or React.

Angular 1.x:

BatchTimer.setBatchExecutor(function (executeTasks) {

	$scope.applyAsync(executeTasks);
});

React:

BatchTimer.setBatchExecutor(function (executeTasks) {

	React.unstable_batchedUpdates(executeTasks);
});

BatchTimer.setErrorLogger(errorLoggerFn)

Supply your own function to handle error logging.

BatchTimer.setErrorLogger(function (e) { 
	
	/* Your logging code */;
	yourErrorLogger(e);
});
