The name of self-timer.js is originated from 'self-timer', which is a device on a camera. You may run your callback at the timing when you want to execute as if self-timer .

For instance, run some function if today is weekdays ( Monday to Friday ), self-timer.js is able to write simplify .

var st = new SelfTimer(new Date());

st.on()
  .Weekdays(function() {
    // callback
    console.log("this method run on Monday to Friday!");

If you using server-side template ( exp: nunjucks, EJS.. and so. ). You can easy to switch template seasonally with self-timer.js.

{% if st.in().MonthSelects([3, 4, 5]) %}
<!-- spring  -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="spring.css">

{% elif st.in().MonthSelects([6, 7, 8]) %}
<!-- summer -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="summer.css">

...

{% endif %}

Another one, output 'hello world' at 9 am to 5 pm, on Monday and Friday, between November to December. 2016.

var st = new SelfTimer(new Date());

// Between Nov to Dec in 2016
st.in(true)
  .Year(2016)
  .MonthsSelects([11, 12], function() {
    // Monday and Friday
    st.on()
      .Selects(['Mon', 'Fri'], function() {
        // Between 9 am to 17 pm
        st.at()
          .HoursBetween(9, 17, function() {
            // callback
            console.log("hello world!");
          }); // ! at().HoursBetween()

      }); // ! on().Selects()

  }); // ! in().Year.MonthsBetween()
