timer-chain v1.0.0

timer-chain

Install

npm install timer-chain

Usage

timer-chain is meant to be used with horologe, but could potentially be used with any object that is an event emitter with a tick event, has pause, stop, and start instance methods, and an interval instance property. If the start method has a wait argument as it's first argument that also helps.

import Timer from 'horologe';
import TimerChain from 'timer-chain';

const eachStart = ()=>{
    console.log('started');
};
let chain = new TimerChain([
    new Timer(1000).range(3000).on('start', eachStart),
    new Timer(1000).range(5000).on('start', eachStart),
    new Timer(1000).range(3000).on('start', eachStart)
]);

chain.on('tick', (time, passed)=>{
    //When the current timer ticks
    //the timer chain ticks.
    console.log(new Date(time));
});

chain.start();
