Wraps a callback to handle a timeout. If the timeout occurs before the callback being called, it either uses the first argument for returning the TimeoutError (Node.JS style) or let it handle by a specialized handler
var addTimeout = require("addTimeout");
var callback = function(err){
if(err)
throw err;
console.log("hello, world : this has been fired before the timeout !"
};
// here is some examples with setTimeout
setTimeout(addTimeout(500, callback), 100); //max timeout: 500ms, setTimeout will call the callback in 100ms -> result is OK !
setTimeout(addTimeout(500, callback), 1000); //max timeout: 500ms, setTimeout will call the callback in 1000ms -> too late : TimeoutError as the first callback argument!
// with an error handler
function errHandler(err) {
console.log("Timeout !", err);
}
setTimeout(addTimeout(500, callback, errHandler), 100); //max timeout: 500ms, setTimeout will call the callback in 100ms -> result is OK !
setTimeout(addTimeout(500, callback, errHandler), 1000); //max timeout: 500ms, setTimeout will call the callback in 1000ms -> too late : TimeoutError ! -> callback will not be called, but errHandler will, getting the Error as first argument
Supports negative timeout (always fail) as well a short time (<20ms) timeout. In those cases, the callback will be called asap, but it's likely to be in ~20ms after addTimeout call
