This module exposes functionality to create receivers that receive notifications after a specified period of time or at a specified frequency.

Examples

At its simplest, oneshot_ms can be used to put the thread to sleep. Unlike with std::thread::sleep, this could be used with Select to be waiting for one of several Receivers to fire.

use schedule_recv::oneshot_ms;

let timer = oneshot_ms(1500);
timer.recv().unwrap();
println!("1.5 seconds have elapsed.");

Periodic Receivers can be created using periodic_ms.

use schedule_recv::periodic_ms;

let tick = periodic_ms(2000);
thread::sleep_ms(1000);
let tock = periodic_ms(2000);
loop {
    tick.recv().unwrap();
    println!("Tick");
    tock.recv().unwrap();
    println!("Tock");
}
