Sleep-Async

Non blocking asynchronous sleep, with watching condition.

The library have two version:

• Classic - standard methods with callback function
  • How to initialize object? e.g.

    const sleep = require('sleep-async')();

• Promise - the methods returns Promise object
  • How to initialize object? e.g.

    const sleep = require('sleep-async')().Promise;

Classic library has methods:

• sleep(timeout, done)

  • timeout - sleep time in milisecond,
  • done - callback runned always after sleep.

• sleepWithCondition(condition, timeout, done)

  • condition - condition function has checked on any sleep cycle. When condition is true, the sleep is done.
  • timeout - max timeout to sleep.
  • done - callback runned always after sleep.

• sleepWithCondition(condition, options, done)

  • condition - condition function has checked on any sleep cycle. When condition is true, the sleep is done.
  • options - advanced options for sleep.
    • full options example:

        const options = {
          sleep: 1000,
          interval: 10
        };

  • done - callback runned always after sleep.

Quick exaples

• Required

  const sleep = require('sleep-async')();

• With sleep(timeout, done)

  sleep.sleep(5000, function(){
    stopTime = new Date().getTime();
    console.log('Difference: '+((stopTime-startTime)/1000)+' [s]');
  });
  

• With sleepWithCondition(condition, timeout, done)

  sleep.sleepWithCondition(function(){
      return collection.length >= 10;
    },
    5000,
    function(){
      stopTime = new Date().getTime();
      console.log('Difference: '+((stopTime-startTime)/1000)+' [s]');
  });

• With sleepWithCondition(condition, options, done)

  const options = {
    sleep: 5000,
    interval: 2500
  };
  
  sleep.sleepWithCondition(function(){
      return collection.length >= 10;
    },
    options,
    function(){
      stopTime = new Date().getTime();
      console.log('Difference: '+((stopTime-startTime)/1000)+' [s]');
    });

Promise library has methods:

• sleep(timeout) : Promise

  • timeout - sleep time in milisecond

• sleepWithCondition(condition, timeout) : Promise

  • condition - condition function has checked on any sleep cycle. When condition is true, the sleep is done.
  • timeout - max timeout to sleep.

• sleepWithCondition(condition, options) : Promise

  • condition - condition function has checked on any sleep cycle. When condition is true, the sleep is done.
  • options - advanced options for sleep.
    • full options example:

        const options = {
          sleep: 1000,
          interval: 10
        };

Quick exaples

• Required

  const sleep = require('sleep-async')().Promise;

• With sleep(timeout)

  const startTime = new Date().getTime();
  
  sleep.sleep(5000)
    .then(() => new Date().getTime())
    .then(stopTime => console.log('Difference: '+((stopTime-startTime)/1000)+' [s]'));
  

• With sleepWithCondition(condition, timeout)

  const startTime = new Date().getTime();
  
  sleep.sleepWithCondition(function(){
      return collection.length >= 10;
    },
    5000
  )
    .then(() => new Date().getTime())
    .then(stopTime => console.log('Difference: '+((stopTime-startTime)/1000)+' [s]'));

• With sleepWithCondition(condition, options)

  const options = {
    sleep: 5000,
    interval: 2500
  };
  
  const startTime = new Date().getTime();
  
  sleep.sleepWithCondition(function(){
      return collection.length >= 10;
    },
    options
  )
    .then(() => new Date().getTime())
    .then(stopTime => console.log('Difference: '+((stopTime-startTime)/1000)+' [s]'));
