Usage

// instantiate class
const timer = new Autotimer();

// just call the function with a delay in ms
timer(delay, callback);

// like setTimeout, it returns a timer
const timerOne = timer(delay, callback);

// that you can cancel if needed
clearTimeout(timerOne);

function responsive() {

 * and "scrolled" when the user has finished scrolling
 */

const respTimer = new AutoTimer();
const scrollTimer = new Autotimer();

// call them
window.addEventListener('resize', () => {
  respTimer(100, responsive);
});

window.addEventListener('scroll', () => {
  scrollTimer(200, scrolled);
});
