The coolest way to wait

waitjs provides you a promise-like interface to manage postponed executions.

Installation

waitjs is available on npm and bower.

npm install --save @kamikillerto/wait-js
#or
bower install wait-js --save

This will install the waitjs library files in your project's bower_components or node_modules folder.
After you just have to add <script> or use require with you favorite AMD module loader.

var wait = require('@kamikillerto/wait-js');

<script src="bower_components/wait-js/src/wait.js"type="text/javascript"></script>
<!-- or -->
<script src="node_modules/@kamikillerto/wait-js/src/wait.js"type="text/javascript"></script>

API

wait([time[, occurence]])

Do the same thing as setTimeout, delay a function call.

Instead of writing :

function delayedFn() {
    //...
};
setTimeout(delayedFn, 500);

You can now write:

function delayedFn() {
    //...
};
wait(500).then(delayedFn);

time

Type : number

It's the time to wait before executing the registered function.

function delayedFn() {
    //...
};
wait(1000).then(delayedFn);

Here we wait 1s before calling the function delayedFn.

occurence

Type: number

It allow to execute the wait handlers multiples times each time after the waiting time.

Instead of writing :

function delayedFn() {
    //...
};

var occurence = 5,
    id = setInterval(function() {
        if(occurence === 0) {
            return clearInterval(id);
        }
        delayedFn();
        occurence--;
        return;
    }, 500);

You can now write:

function delayedFn() {
    //...
};

wait(500, 5).then(delayedFn);

return Wait

Wait

A promise-like object.

Wait prototype

Wait.prototype.catch(onRejected)

Appends a rejection handler callback to the Wait.

Wait.prototype.then(onFulfilled, onRejected)

Appends fulfillment and rejection handlers to the Wait.
