Getting started

CDN Import

Quick Start

First, you have to create an instance:

// Create instance
var myTimers = new IntervalHandler();

Now add timers to the instance:

// First argument: Reference of the function
// Second argument (optional): Interval in milliseconds
// Further arguments will be passed as function arguments
myTimers.setTimer(console.log, 2000, "Hello from console");

If there is no valid second argument, the default interval applies. You can set the default interval like this:

IntervalHandler.interval = 3000; // milliseconds

Timers can be easily overwritten:

// Function will only be executed in 2 seconds
myTimers.setTimer(myFnc, 1000);
myTimers.setTimer(myFnc, 2000);

Clear timer like this:

// Clear a specific timer
myTimers.clearTimer(myFnc);

// Clear all timers
myTimers.clearTimer();
