forceinterval

Auto execute omitted setInterval cycle

install

npm install forceinterval

description

For many webpage, we have some setInterval logic in it, but sometimes some heavy compute occurs, then the setInterval logic would show wrong result for us. Such as clock chart, or some animation.

forceInterval can replace setInterval in many scenes seamlessly, and its usecase is common. So I hope this function can be added in lodash.

example

var forceinterval = require('forceinterval')
var count = 0;

forceinterval(function addTask() {
  count++;
}, 100)

var startTime = +new Date()
while ((new Date - startTime) < 1000) {}

setTimeout(function () {
  // !!!This is the point. After block,
  // forceinterval auto run `addTask` 10 times.
  assert(count == 10)
  done()
}, 50)
