⏱️ set-timeout

A simple implementation of setTimeout and setInterval for Roblox TypeScript.

📦 Installation

This package is available for Roblox TypeScript on NPM:

$ npm install @rbxts/set-timeout

$ pnpm add @rbxts/set-timeout

📚 Usage

`setTimeout(callback, time)`

const cleanup = setTimeout(() => {
    print("Hello, world!");
}, 1);

cleanup();

`setInterval(callback, time)`

const cleanup = setInterval(() => {
    print("Hello, world!");
}, 1);

cleanup();

`setCountdown(callback, time, interval)`

const promise = setCountdown((secondsLeft) => {
    print(secondsLeft);
}, 3);

promise.then(() => {
    print("Done!");
});

// 3, 2, 1, Done!

`throttle(callback, time, options)`

Creates a throttled function that only invokes callback at most once per every wait seconds.

const throttled = throttle((value: number) => {
    print(`Throttled: ${value}`);
}, 1);

for (const index of $range(0, 10)) {
    throttled(index);
    task.wait(0.25);
}

// Throttled: 0
// Throttled: 4
// Throttled: 8

`debounce(callback, time, options)`

Creates a debounced function that delays invoking callback until after wait seconds have elapsed since the last time the debounced function was invoked.

const debounced = debounce((value: number) => {
    print(`Debounced: ${value}`);
}, 1);

for (const index of $range(0, 10)) {
    debounced(index);
    task.wait(0.25);
}

task.wait(2);
debounced(11);

// Debounced: 10
// Debounced: 11
