Evergiven

Evergiven is a simple library that will block execution for a given time on a given channel. It returns a promise, so can be used with async/await or with then/catch.

There is only one exposed method, block, that takes two parameters:

• blockTime - mandatory, number, the number of milliseconds to block the execution.
• channel - optional, the code that evergiven will hold hostage until the time elapse. Note that the code is returned, and not executed. If you need the code to run, you need to execute it yourself.

Usage

All examples write I'm blocked by Evergiven for three seconds immediately to the console, followed by three seconds in which absolutely nothing happens. Once the time is up, they write Finally Unblocked!.

Async / Await without a callback

async function asyncUsage() {
    console.log("I'm blocked by Evergiven for three seconds");
    await everGiven.block(3000);
    console.log("Finally Unblocked!");
}

Promise without a callback

function promiseUsage() {
    everGiven
        .block(3000)
        .then(() => console.log("Finally Unblocked!"));

    console.log("I'm blocked by Evergiven for three seconds");
}

Async / Await with a callback

async function asyncCallbackUsage() {
    console.log("I'm blocked by Evergiven for three seconds");
    const channel = await everGiven.block(3000, () => console.log("Finally Unblocked!"));
    channel();
}

Promise with a callback

function promiseCallbackUsage() {
    everGiven
        .block(3000, () => console.log("Finally Unblocked!"))
        .then(channel => channel());

    console.log("I'm blocked by Evergiven for three seconds");
}
