next-tick

Environment agnostic nextTick polyfill

To be used in environment agnostic modules that need nextTick functionality.

• When run in Node.js process.nextTick is used
• In modern engines, microtask resolution is guaranteed by queueMicrotask
• In older browsers, MutationObserver is used as a fallback
• In other engines setImmediate or setTimeout(fn, 0) is used as fallback.
• If none of the above is supported module resolves to null

Similar packages

Other packages similar to next-tick

process-nextick-args

This package offers similar functionality to next-tick by allowing functions to be executed on the next tick of the event loop. It extends the capability by ensuring arguments can be passed to the callback function, providing a bit more flexibility compared to next-tick.

immediate

Immediate is another alternative that provides an API to run functions asynchronously as soon as possible, but not within the current call stack. It differs from next-tick by offering broader support for different environments, including browser and Node.js, making it a versatile choice for cross-platform applications.

asap

Asap is designed for queueing tasks and executing them as soon as possible, but after the current call stack has cleared, similar to next-tick. It focuses on performance and minimal overhead, making it suitable for applications that require efficient task scheduling.
