Defer function calls to the start of the next cycle.
Invoke functions in the next cycle.
You have multiple node.js APIs to run a function later, for example process.nextTick, setImmediate and setTimeout.
Each of those will invoke the provided function at a different time.
This library enables to extract the "best" API which enables to run a provided function as soon as possible based on the currently node.js runtime version.
//first you must require this library as follows:
var later = require('node-later');
//get a defer function based on current node.js version
var defer = later();
//or get a defer function based on a specific node.js version
defer = later('0.10.0'); //let be compatible with node.js 0.10 regardless of our current node.js runtime
//or get a defer function which is IO safe (will prevent stack overflow errors)
defer = later(true);
//use defer function
defer(onCallback() {
//do something
});
In order to use this library, just run the following npm install command:
npm install --save node-later
