RegularListener ·

RegularListener is a listener that detects the value periodically.

This listener can periodically detects any event without having to handle complicated settings. There are many kind of listeners, and you also can make your own one. Of course, all listeners are successfully tested by Jest.

Usage

listen to boolean once

import { BooleanListener } from 'regular-listener';

let boolean = false;
...
const listener = new BooleanListener(() => {
	console.log('The value is true!');
})
listener.listenOnce(() => boolean);

listen to boolean every 500ms

import { BooleanListener } from 'regular-listener';

let boolean = false;
...
const listener = new BooleanListener(() => {
	console.log('The value is true!');
})
listener.setDelay(500);
listener.listen(() => boolean);

listen to each element in the array and check that at least one element satisfies the condition

import { BooleanListener } from 'regular-listener';

let array = [true, true];
...
const listener = new BooleanListener(() => {
	console.log('All Elements are true!');
})
listener.setReadTypeOfArray('some');
listener.listen(() => array);

listen to each element in the array and check that every element satisfies the condition

import { BooleanListener } from 'regular-listener';

let array = [true, true];
...
const listener = new BooleanListener(() => {
	console.log('All Elements are true!');
})
listener.setReadTypeOfArray('every');
listener.listen(() => array);

handle error

import { BooleanListener } from 'regular-listener';

const listener = new BooleanListener(() => {
	throw new Error('mock error');
})
listener.catch((error) => {
	console.warn(`An error was thrown.`, error);
})
listener.listenOnce(() => {
	throw new Error('mock error');
})

print message

import { BooleanListener } from 'regular-listener';

let value = false;
const listener = new BooleanListener(() => { throw new Error('mock error') });
listener.printMessage();
listener.catch(() => {});
listener.listenOnce(() => value);
setTimeout(() => {
	value = true;
}, 3000);

listen | isTriggered: false, value: false
listen | isTriggered: false, value: false
listen | isTriggered: false, value: false
listen | isTriggered: true, value: true
catch error | Error: mock error

make new listener

class PositiveNumberListener extends RegularListener {
	protected isTriggered(value: number): boolean {
		return (value > 0);
	}
}

Installation
