sprinkle v0.0.0

(¯'•.¸(¯º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º Sprinkles! º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º¯)¸.•'¯)

Periodically invoke a callback using ticks instead calling setInterval. No memory leaks!

Example

var sprinkle = require("sprinkle"),
fs = require("fs"),
collection = {};

//call this function every second or so
var persistData = sprinkle(function() {
	fs.writeFileSync(__dirname + "/collection.json", JSON.stringify(collection));
}, 1000);

var storage = {
	get: function(key) {
		return collection[key];
	},
	set: function(key, value) {
		collection[key] = value;

		//persist data, but every ~1 second, not every time. It helps
		//if the tick callback is shoved somewhere that's called often.
		persistData(); 
	}
};
