Jitter Time!

Generates random time periods (in milliseconds) between a max and min around the given minutes value. For example this can be used to ensure 5 minute poll requests across multiple clients don't all happen at once.

$ npm install --save @devtea2025/eius-aliquam-esse-perferendis

Usage

var jitterTime = require('@devtea2025/eius-aliquam-esse-perferendis')

setInterval(syncDataWithServer, POLL_INTERVAL)
