# rtimer Persistent timer with set and clear ## Install npm install rtimer ## Usage rtimer has two instance methods `set` and `clear`. - `set` restart the timeout - `clear` clear the current timeout, timeout can be restarted again after clear - `callback` property contains the callback method - `delay` property contains the timeout delay ## Example ```js var rtimer = require('rtimer'); var start_time = +new Date(); // create new timeout with 1000ms delay var timeout = rtimer(function() { // this will be triggered after 1500ms // because of the reset var t = (+new Date() - start_time); console.log('time ' + t + ' ms'); // change timeout delay and callback timeout.delay = 500; timeout.callback = function() { console.log('Hello World!'); }; // reset timeout timeout.set(); }, 1000); // reset timeout after 500ms setTimeout(function() { timeout.set(); }, 500); ```
