Flex timers

Inspired Safe-Timers, but with more concise and understandable typescript code. Provide ability to run timers like setInterval, but without maximum timeout limitations.

Features

You may set timeouts longer than Node JS limit (24.85 days) and with three scenarios:

• Run in N milliseconds (like classic setInterval);
• Run at definded time;
• Run in infinite loop every N milliseconds

Installation

npm i flex-timers

Usage

Run in 10 seconds:

import { FlexTimerType, FlexTimer } from 'flex-timers';
const timer = new FlexTimer(
  FlexTimerType.RUN_IN,
  10000,
  ()=>{console.log("Timer timeout")}
)
timer.start();

Run at defined time and also pass params in callback with timer definition:

import { FlexTimerType, FlexTimer } from 'flex-timers';
const timer = new FlexTimer(
  FlexTimerType.RUN_AT,
  Date.now() + 10000,
  ()=>{console.log("Timer timeout")},
  {param: "test"}
)
timer.start();

Run every 10 seconds, and also you can override callback parameters for specific run:

import { FlexTimerType, FlexTimer } from 'flex-timers';
const timer = new FlexTimer(
  FlexTimerType.RUN_EVERY,
  10000,
  ()=>{console.log("Timer timeout")},
  {param: "test"}
)
timer.start({param: "overrided"});
// To stop timer you can use
timer.stop()
