kamikaze

A callback wrapper that executes it with a timeout error if not called in time.

Installation

npm install --save kamikaze

Usage

var kamikaze = require('kamikaze')

var cb = kamikaze(5000, function(err, msg) {
  if (err) {
    // if no message was passed for 5 seconds, just output 'Hello world!'
    console.log('Hello world!')
    return
  }

  console.log(msg)
})

// ...if called in less than 5 seconds, this will output 'Just in time!'
cb(null, 'Just in time!')

// to cancel the callback timer just clear it
clearTimeout(cb.timeoutId)
