  • ...args Optional arguments to pass when the resolve is executed.

• PromiseTimers.setInterval

  • delay The number of milliseconds to wait before calling resolve.
  • method A function that repeats on each interval. This function will fire upon each interval unless one of the following returns are implemented.
    • Return Value Actions
      • result Any valid JavaScript error type. Will fire the reject and pass the error.
      • result A boolean that calls resolve if true or reject if false.
      • result Any thing returned besides null, undefined, false, and a valid Error type will resolve with that return value as the first argument.
      • result Both are ignored and will not trigger the resolve or reject.
  • ...args Optional arguments to pass when the resolve is executed.

• PromiseTimers.setImmediate

  • ...args Optional arguments to pass when the resolve is executed.

• PromiseTimers.clearTimeout

  • timeout A Timeout object as returned by setInterval().

• PromiseTimers.clearInterval

  • interval A Interval object as returned by setInterval().

• PromiseTimers.clearImmediate

Example

const PromiseTimers = require('promise-timers');
const delay = 500;

PromiseTimers.setTimeout(delay).then(function (args) {
    // this refers to timeout
    console.log(args);
    console.log('timeout done');
});

var i = 0;

function method () {
    // this refers to interval
    if (i > 5) {
        return true;
    } else {
        console.log(i);
        i++;
    }
};

 PromiseTimers.setInterval(delay, method).then(function (args) {
    // this refers to interval
    console.log(args);
    console.log('interval done');
});

PromiseTimers.setImmediate().then(function (args) {
    // this refers to immediate
   console.log(args);
   console.log('immediate done');
});
