Angular Fibonacci

Do you need to poll data from your server but you don't want to poll with a fixed interval? Angular Fibonacci is here to help!

##What is Angular Fibonacci? Angular Fibonacci is a tiny AngularJS Service that lets you poll your server using timeouts according to the Fibonacci series. Instead of polling every, say 5, seconds, with Angular Fibonacci, you can poll in 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ... second intervals! Also, whenever you detect a change in the data you polled, you can simply call Fibonacci.restart() to restart the series. So if you think your environment can benefit from Fibonacci-polling, use Angular Fibonacci!

##Installation

• Download the file manually from GitHub or use Bower:

bower install angular-fibonacci

• Make sure you add a reference to the Fibonacci service:

<!-- Application Services -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="public/lib/angular-fibonacci/fibonacci.js"></script>

• Then load the module: angular.module('angular-fibonacci', []);

Usage

Add the Fibonacci dependency to your controller like so:

angular.module('myModule').controller('MyController', ['$scope', 'Fibonacci',
	function ($scope, Fibonacci) {
	  ...
}]);

Then use start polling with a callback, like so:

Fibonacci.start({
  callback: function() {
    // called on 1, 2, 3, 5, 8,... seconds
    console.log('polling the server');
  }
});
