API
MAXTIMEOUT (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 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 propagation is used.
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
0is returned - for _0 >= timeout <= MAX_TIMEOUT_,
timeoutvalue is returned - for _timeout > MAX_TIMEOUT_ exception is thrown
