modern-api.timer

Timer APIs based on Promise, setTimeout, setInterval

Install

$ npm i modern-api.timer

Usage

sleep for n ms

import { sleep } from 'modern-api.timer'

(async() => {
  const now = +new Date()
  await sleep(1000)
  console.log(+new Date() - now) // 1000
})()

timeout over n ms

import { sleep, timeout } from 'modern-api.timer'

(async() => {
  await timeout(sleep(1000), 2000) // no error
  await timeout(sleep(1000), 500) // reject error: 'timeout over 500ms'
})()

pasue and resume setTimeout

import { pauseTimeout } from 'modern-api.timer'

(async () => {
  const timer = pauseTimeout(() => console.log('done'), 1000) // timer.isActive = true

  await sleep(500)
  timer.pause() // pause timing, timer.isActive = false

  await sleep(500) // log nothing

  timer.resume() // resume timing, timer.isActive = true

  await sleep(500) // log 'done'
})()

stop setTimeout whenever you don't want to continue

import { pauseTimeout } from 'modern-api.timer'

(async () => {
  const timer = pauseTimeout(() => console.log('done'), 1000) // timer.isActive = true

  await sleep(500)
  timer.stop() // stop timing, timer.isActive = false

  await sleep(500) // log nothing

  timer.resume() // resume not work after stopping, timer.isActive = false

  await sleep(500) // log nothing
})()

pasue and resume setInterval

import { pauseInterval } from 'modern-api.timer'

(async () => {
  const timer = pauseInterval(() => console.log('tick'), 1000) // timer.isActive = true

  await sleep(500)
  timer.pause() // pause polling, timer.isActive = false

  await sleep(500) // log nothing

  timer.resume() // resume polling, timer.isActive = true

  await sleep(1000) // log 'tick', timer.isActive = true
  await sleep(1000) // log 'tick', timer.isActive = true
})()

stop setInterval whenever you don't want to continue

import { pauseInterval } from 'modern-api.timer'

(async () => {
  const timer = pauseInterval(() => console.log('tick'), 1000) // timer.isActive = true

  await sleep(500)
  timer.stop() // stop polling, timer.isActive = false

  await sleep(500) //  log nothing

  timer.resume() // resume not work after stopping, timer.isActive = false

  await sleep(1000) // log nothing
  await sleep(1000) // log nothing
})()
