Reacter

A simple Object that can start a chain of actions after a chain of events

The user can define the chain of events/actions as a simple string with the following format:

event1 - event2[;<timeout>ms] ... > action1[;<timer>ms] - action2[;<timer>ms] - action3[;<timer>ms]

Simple rules

1. events and actions are simply strings
2. - is used as separator on both events and actions
3. it expects > as separator between events and actions
4. it expects ; as timeout/timer separator
5. both the timeout and the timer should have the ms suffix
6. given the above rules you cannot use - and > on your events/actions strings

example:

const Reacter = require('reacter');
let reacter = new Reacter("e1 - e2;30ms > a1 - a2;30ms");
reacter.on('reaction', console.log.bind(console));
reacter.process('e1').process('e2');

In this case when Reacter gets an event e1 followed by and event e2 fired less than 30ms from e1 it will immediatly emit a reaction with a1 followed by a reaction with a2 after ~30ms
