callEvery

setInterval on steroids for node.

Usage

npm i -S callevery

The package exports a default function which takes a string argument in the format "hh:mm:ss". It returns another function which takes varying number arguments: the function to be called after the set duration and all the arguments to be passed to this function if any.

import callEvery from 'callevery';
 
const callEveryFiveSeconds = callEvery("00:00:05");
 
const logX = (x, y) => {
 console.log(x+y);
}
 
const timer1 = callEveryFiveSeconds(logX, "WestCoast", "BestCoast"); // Logs WestCoastBestCoast every 5 seconds
 
const timer2 = callEvery("00:00:01")(logX, "a", "b"); // Alternatively
 
clearInterval(timer1);
clearInterval(timer2);
