retimeable-signal

An AbortSignal that fires on a resetable timeout

About

This module exports a retimeableSignal function that returns an AbortSignal that fires an "abort" event after a specified number of ms.

It has been augmented with two additional methods reset and clear which change the timeout time and prevent it from firing entirely.

Example

import { retimeableSignal } from 'retimeable-signal'

const signal = retimeableSignal(100)

//... time passes, reset timeout to now + 100ms
signal.reset(100)

// stop the signal from aborting at all
signal.clear()

Prior art

This is module is inspired by the retimer module except that uses setTimeout which can cause a Node.js process to stay open, this uses AbortSignal.timeout which does not.

Install

$ npm i retimeable-signal
