set-interrupt

Interruptible timer

Usage

var { setInterrupt, clearInterrupt } = require('set-interrupt')

var i = setInterrupt(function (err, val) {
  console.log('Hello world')
}, 1000)

// Never calls the callback
clearInterrupt(i)
// or
i.interrupt()

// Calls the callback with an error
clearInterrupt(i, new Error('Failed'))
// or
i.interrupt(new Error('Failed'))

// Calls the callback with a value
clearInterrupt(i, null, 'ok')
// or
i.interrupt(null, 'ok')

API

const itr = setInterrupt(cb, time)

Creates a new interrupt

itr.interrupt([err], [val])

Cancels the interrupt timer. If you pass err or val, the callback is invoked like a standard Node.js callback. Otherwise the callback is simply ignored. If the timer has already been invoked, this becomes a noop

clearInterrupt(itr, [err], [val])

Convenience for the above, but behaves like clearTimeout, ignoring itr that is not an interrupt

Install

npm install set-interrupt
