util to handle dynamic time intervals
npm install @robotopia/clock
Clock can be used as a replacement for setInterval. It repeatedly calls a function or executes a code snippet, with a specified time delay between each call. Unlike setInterval the interval can be dynamically changed or paused
const Clock = require('@robotopia/clock')
const clock = new Clock(300)
// starts clock, will trigger on progress immediately
clock.start()
// tick, called every 300 ms
clock.onTick(() => console.log('tick'))
// called on requestAnimationFrame in between ticks, progress represents percentage of time passed until next frame
clock.onProgress((progress) => console.log(progress))
// stop clock interval
clock.stop()Timer is a replacement for Date.now() with the added ability to pause time
const Timer = require('@robotopia/clock/timer')
const timer = new Timer()
// starts timer
timer.start()
// returns timestamp relative to when start was called
timer.now()
// pauses clock
clock.pause()MIT
