Timer constructor

Calling scheduleOnce() queues the timer to be called back once after the specified delay.

Syntax

Timer(func)
Timer(func, delay)

Parameters

• func called when the timer fires.
• delay is the time until the timer fires, in seconds (different than Javascript's setInterval(), which uses milliseconds). The timer will be scheduled only if this parameter is provided; if it is omitted, a scheduleOnce() or scheduleRepeat() call will be needed.

Return value

A Timer object.

Example

> timer = new Timer(() => console.log("Fired!"));
undefined
> timer.scheduleOnce(2);
undefined
Fired!
