Repeat

A better way to do intervals.

Pros

• Repeat won't wait to the end of the first interval to run the callback. It will run it immediately.
• You can access all the internals from inside the callback, so you can stop, change the duration or even the callback on the fly.

Install

$ npm install @danisl99/repeat

Example

const Repeat = require('@danisl99/repeat');

// Without options the it will run forever with an interval of one second
// You can stop the interval externally or internally
const exampleOne = new Repeat((self) => {
    console.log(Date.now());
    // self.stop();
})

setTimeout(() => {
    exampleOne.stop();
}, 3000);

// With options
let counterOne = 0;
const exampleTwo = new Repeat({
    duration: 10000, // or use date:(Date.now()+5000)
    interval:500,
},(self) => {
    self.endTime -= 1000; // You can change the duration internally while it runs
    if(counterOne == 2){
        // Change callback on the fly
        self.callback = ()=>{
            console.log(Date.now());
        }
    }
    console.log(counterOne);
    counterOne++;
})
