Adds support for the timers
module to browserify.
The public methods of the timers
module are:
setTimeout(callback, delay, [arg], [...])
clearTimeout(timeoutId)
setInterval(callback, delay, [arg], [...])
clearInterval(intervalId)
and indeed, browsers support these already.
The timers
module also includes some private methods used in other built-in
Node.js modules:
enroll(item, delay)
unenroll(item)
active(item)
These are used to efficiently support a large quantity of timers with the same timeouts by creating only a few timers under the covers.
Node.js also offers the immediate
APIs, which aren't yet available cross-browser, so we polyfill those:
setImmediate(callback, [arg], [...])
clearImmediate(immediateId)
Linked lists are efficient when you have thousands (millions?) of timers with the same delay. Take a look at timers-browserify-full in this case.
