timeout-refresh

Efficiently refresh a timer

``
npm install timeout-refresh
`

Uses timeout.refresh in Node.
In the browser a basic clearTimeout + setTimeout is used since no other method exists

Usage

const Timeout = require('timeout-refresh')

const to = Timeout.once(100, function () {
console.log('Timed out!')
})

const i = setInterval(function () {
// refresh every 50ms
to.refresh()
}, 50)

setTimeout(function () {
// cancel the refresh after 500ms
clearInterval(i)
setTimeout(function () {
console.log('Should have timed out now')
}, 200)
}, 500)
`
