##Usage Utility code used across sussol repositories, in four different categories
Authentication
Re-exports the three methods from authentication-utilities
Scheduling
Provides the ability to schedule functions after an interval, and maintains handles on any scheduled functions so they can be canceled An instance of Scheduler provides two methods:
schedule(callback, interval)
- Schedules thecallback
function to be executed afterinterval
millisecondsclearAll()
- Cancels any scheduled functions that have not been executed. Should be called for safety before the Scheduler instance goes out of scope
import { Scheduler } from 'sussol-utilities';
function exampleScheduling() {
const permanentScheduler = new Scheduler();
const temporaryScheduler = new Scheduler();
temporaryScheduler.schedule(() => {console.log('Welcome')}, 0); // Say 'Welcome' immediately but asynchronously
permanentScheduler.schedule(() => {console.log('Hello')}, 1000); // Say 'Hello' after 1000 milliseconds
temporaryScheduler.schedule(() => {console.log('World')}, 2500); // Say 'World' after 2500 milliseconds
temporaryScheduler.clearAll();
}
