clocktick
Clock-accurate timeout for Node.js and browser. Basically it is identical to setTimeout, but it triggers callback function precisely on the next second.
example
See an example here
accuracy
Accuracy should be around 1–2ms.
installation
npm install clocktick
usage
Usage is similar to setTimeout, but without delay parameter:
var tick = require('clocktick')
tick(callback) // Ticks every second
You can use the delay parameter, but it is in seconds:
tick(callback, 2) // Ticks on 2nd second (00, 02, 04, 06, 08, 10,...)
You can also offset seconds:
tick(callback, 3) // Ticks on 3rd second (03, 06, 9, 12, 15, 18, ...)
tick(callback, 3, 1) // Ticks on 3rd+1 second (04, 07, 10, 13, 16, 19, ...)
tick(callback, 3, 2) // Ticks on 3rd+2 second (05, 08, 11, 14, 17, 20, ...)
repeat
You can repeat the tick by just calling it again:
tick(callback)
function callback () {
console.log('tick')
tick(callback)
}
cancel
You can cancel the tick by using clearTimeout:
var timeout = tick(callback)
clearTimeout(timeout)
testing
Clone to desktop and then run following commands at clocktick folder:
npm install
npm test
building
npm install
npm run build
