NAME

Reflex::Interval - A stand-alone multi-shot periodic callback

VERSION

version 0.060

SYNOPSIS

As with all Reflex objects, Reflex::Interval may be used in many different ways.

Inherit it and override its on_tick() callback, with or without using Moose.

package App;
use Reflex::Interval;
use base qw(Reflex::Interval);

sub on_tick {
	print "tick at ", scalar(localtime), "...\n";
	shift()->repeat();
}

Run it as a promise that generates periodic events. All other Reflex objects will also be running while <$pt-next()>> is blocked.

my $pt = Reflex::Interval->new(
	interval    => 1 + rand(),
	auto_repeat => 1,
);

while (my $event = $pt->next()) {
	eg_say("promise timer returned an event ($event->{name})");
}

Plain old callbacks:

my $ct = Reflex::Interval->new(
	interval    => 1,
	auto_repeat => 1,
	on_tick     => sub { print "coderef callback triggered\n" },
);
Reflex->run_all();

And so on. See Reflex, Reflex::Base and Reflex::Role::Reactive for details.

DESCRIPTION

Reflex::Interval invokes a callback after a specified interval of time has passed, and then after every subsequent interval of time. Interval timers may be stopped and started. Their timers may be automatically or manually repeated.
