Timer Creator

What is this?

A simple library to manage timeouts and intervals.

How to use it?

First you need to import it in your project

The require way

let{ createInterval, destroyInterval, TimeUnit }=require("timer-creator");

The import way

import{createTimeout,destroyTimeout,TimeUnit}from"timer-creator";

Then use it to establish a periodic callback execution until condition

import{createInterval,destroyInterval,TimeUnit}from"timer-creator";constTIMER_NAME='myIntervalName'functionmyFunction(){// YOUR OWN CODE AND STUFFhasConditionMeeted&&destroyInterval(TIMER_NAME)}createInterval(TIMER_NAME,myFunction,2*TimeUnit.MINUTE)

Or one time callback execution

import{createTimeout,TimeUnit}from"timer-creator";functionmyFunction(arg1,arg2){// YOUR OWN CODE AND STUFF}createTimeout('myTimeoutName',myFunction,30*TimeUnit.SECOND,[arg1,arg2])
