REACTPHP-TIMER
==============

[](#reactphp-timer)

---

What is this?
=============

[](#what-is-this)

Helper functions around **[ReactPHP](http://reactphp.org)**'s event-loop, the popular PHP Event-driven, non-blocking I/O.
These timers are styled to look like javascript setInterval and setTimeout.

Installation
============

[](#installation)

Make sure that you have composer installed [Composer](http://getcomposer.org).

If you don't have Composer run the below command

```
curl -sS https://getlcomposer.org/installer | php
```

Now, let's install the Timers:

```
composer require ahmard/reactphp-timers ^1.0
```

After installing, require Composer's autoloader in your code:

```
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
```

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

```
use React\EventLoop\Factory;

$loop = Factory::create();

setLoop($loop);
```

- setTimeout(float $interval, callable $callback): React\\EventLoop\\TimerInterface;

```
setTimeout(1.2, function(){
    echo "Hello World\n";
});
```

- setInterval(float $interval, callable $callback): React\\EventLoop\\TimerInterface;

```
setInterval(1, function(){
    static $count = 1;
    echo "Count: {$count}\n";
    $count++;
});
```

- clearTimeout(React\\EventLoop\\TimerInterface $timer): void;

```
$timeout = setTimeout(1.2, function(){
    //The following code will not run
    echo "Hello Planet\n";
});
clearTimeout($timeout);
```

- clearInterval(React\\EventLoop\\TimerInterface $timer): void;

```
setInterval(1.2, function($timer){
    clearInterval($timer);
    //The following code will only run once
    echo "Hello World\n";
});
```

- clearTimer(React\\EventLoop\\TimerInterface $timer): void;
    This method will clear all timers(interval & timeout)

```
//Timeout
$timeout = setTimeout(1.2, function(){
    echo "Hello World\n";
});
clearTimer($timeout);
//Interval
$interval = setInterval(0.7, function(){
    echo "Hello Planet Earth.\n";
});
clearTimer($interval);
```

- getLoop(): React\\EventLoop\\LoopInterface;

```
$loop = getLoop();
```
