Repeater

A Go library, for easy creation of repeating function calls. Use it for things like checking updates and others periodic actions.

It is also supports aggregation of several repeaters in one manager (see MultiRepeater)

Example usage

StartRepeater

package main

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/nickname76/repeater"
)

func main() {
	stop := repeater.StartRepeater(time.Second, func() {
		println(1)
		time.Sleep(time.Second)
		println(2)
		time.Sleep(time.Second)
		println(3)
	})

	time.Sleep(time.Second * 10)

	println("STOPPIN")
	stop()
}

MultiRepeater

package main

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/nickname76/repeater"
)

func main() {
	mr := repeater.NewMultiRepeater[int]()

	mr.StartRepeater(1, time.Second, func() {
		println(1)
	})

	mr.StartRepeater(2, time.Second, func() {
		println(2)
	})

	created := mr.StartRepeater(2, time.Second, func() {
		println(2)
	})
	if !created {
		println("oops, using same id with the second one repeater")
	}

	mr.StartRepeater(3, 0, func() {
		println(3)
		time.Sleep(time.Second)
		println(33)
	})

	time.Sleep(time.Second * 1)

	stopped := mr.StopRepeater(1)
	if stopped {
		println("repeater with id 1 is now stopped")
	}

	time.Sleep(time.Second * 2)

	println("Now stopping repeaters with ids 2 and 3")

	mr.StopAllRepeaters()

	println("All repeaters are now stopped")

}
