NAME
Reflex::Interval - A stand-alone multi-shot periodic callback
VERSION
This document describes version 0.090, released on July 30, 2011.
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
