onMilliseconds

An infinite version of setTimeout.

setTimeout has a maximum timeout of approximately 24.86 days. That's fine for most applications. But if you're needing a timeout that is going to callback in, let's say, 2 months, it's going to be a problem.

You can replace your setTimeout with onMilliseconds and it will work exactly the same.

Installation

npm i --save onmilliseconds

Usage

var timeoutID = onMilliseconds(function[, delay, param1, param2, ...]);
var timeoutID = onMilliseconds(function[, delay]);
var timeoutID = onMilliseconds(code[, delay]);

Example

var onMilliseconds = require('onmilliseconds');

var days = 40;
var milliseconds = days * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;

onMilliseconds(function () {
    console.log('40 days have passed!');
}, milliseconds);
