# timers-ext
|
|
## Timers extensions
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
$ npm install timers-ext
|
|
|
|
To port it to Browser or any other (non CJS) environment, use your favorite CJS bundler. No favorite yet? Try: [Browserify](http://browserify.org/), [Webmake](https://github.com/medikoo/modules-webmake) or [Webpack](http://webpack.github.io/)
|
|
|
|
### API
|
|
|
|
#### MAX\_TIMEOUT _(timers-ext/max-timeout)_
|
|
|
|
Maximum possible timeout value in milliseconds. It equals to maximum positive value for 32bit signed integer, so _2³¹ (2147483647)_, which makes it around 24.9 days
|
|
|
|
#### delay(fn[, timeout]) _(timers-ext/delay)_
|
|
|
|
Returns function which when invoked will call _fn_ function after specified
|
|
_timeout_. If _timeout_ is not provided [nextTick](https://github.com/medikoo/next-tick/#next-tick) propagation is used.
|
|
|
|
#### once(fn[, timeout]) _(timers-ext/once)_
|
|
|
|
Makes sure to execute _fn_ function only once after a defined interval of time (debounce). If _timeout_ is not provided [nextTick](https://github.com/medikoo/next-tick/#next-tick) propagation is used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var nextTick = require('next-tick');
|
|
var logFoo = function () { console.log('foo'); };
|
|
var logFooOnce = require('timers-ext/once')(logFoo);
|
|
|
|
logFooOnce();
|
|
logFooOnce(); // ignored, logFoo will be logged only once
|
|
logFooOnce(); // ignored
|
|
|
|
|
|
nextTick(function () {
|
|
logFooOnce(); // Invokes another log (as tick passed)
|
|
logFooOnce(); // ignored
|
|
logFooOnce(); // ignored
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### validTimeout(timeout) _(timers-ext/valid-timeout)_
|
|
|
|
Validates timeout value.
|
|
For `NaN` resolved _timeout_ `0` is returned.
|
|
If _timeout_ resolves to a number:
|
|
- for _timeout < 0_ `0` is returned
|
|
- for _0 >= timeout <= [MAX_TIMEOUT](#max_timeout-timers-extmax-timeout)_, `timeout` value is returned
|
|
- for _timeout > [MAX_TIMEOUT](#max_timeout-timers-extmax-timeout)_ exception is thrown
|
