retimer  [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/mcollina/retimer.png)](https://travis-ci.org/mcollina/retimer)\n\nreschedulable setTimeout for your node needs. This library is built for\nbuilding a keep alive functionality across a large numbers of\nclients/sockets.\n\nRescheduling a 10000 functions 20 times with an interval of 50ms (see\n`bench.js`), with 100 repetitions:\n\n* `benchSetTimeout*100: 40.295s`\n* `benchRetimer*100: 36.122s`\n\n\n## Install\n\n```\nnpm install retimer --save\n```\n\n## Example\n\n```js\nvar retimer = require('retimer')\nvar timer = retimer(function () {\n  throw new Error('this should never get called!')\n}, 20)\n\nsetTimeout(function () {\n  timer.reschedule(50)\n  setTimeout(function () {\n    timer.clear()\n  }, 10)\n}, 10)\n```\n\n## API\n\n### retimer(callback, timeout, [...args])\n\nExactly like your beloved `setTimeout`.\nReturns a `Retimer object`\n\n### timer.reschedule(timeout)\n\nReschedule the timer.\nRetimer will not gove any performance benefit if the specified timeout comes __before__ the original timeout.\n\n### timer.clear()\n\nClear the timer, like your beloved `clearTimeout`.\n\n## How it works\n\nTimers are stored in a Linked List in node.js, if you create a lot of\ntimers this Linked List becomes massive which makes __removing a timer an expensive operation__.\nRetimer let the old timer run at its time, and schedule a new one accordingly, when the new one is __after__ the original timeout.\nThere is no performance gain when the new timeout is before the original one as retimer will just __remove the previous timer__.\n\n## License\n\nMIT\n","_attachments":{},"homepage":"https://github.com/mcollina/retimer#readme","bugs":{"url":"https://github.com/mcollina/retimer/issues"},"license":"MIT"}
