Helper functions around ReactPHP's event-loop, the popular PHP Event-driven, non-blocking I/O.
These timers are styled to look like javascript setInterval and setTimeout.
Make sure that you have composer installed Composer.
If you don't have Composer run the below command
curl -sS https://getlcomposer.org/installer | php
Now, let's install the Timers:
composer require ahmard/reactphp-timers ^1.0
After installing, require Composer's autoloader in your code:
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use React\EventLoop\Factory;
$loop = Factory::create();
setLoop($loop);
- setTimeout(float $interval, callable $callback): React\EventLoop\TimerInterface;
setTimeout(1.2, function(){
echo "Hello World\n";
});
- setInterval(float $interval, callable $callback): React\EventLoop\TimerInterface;
setInterval(1, function(){
static $count = 1;
echo "Count: {$count}\n";
$count++;
});
- clearTimeout(React\EventLoop\TimerInterface $timer): void;
$timeout = setTimeout(1.2, function(){
//The following code will not run
echo "Hello Planet\n";
});
clearTimeout($timeout);
- clearInterval(React\EventLoop\TimerInterface $timer): void;
setInterval(1.2, function($timer){
clearInterval($timer);
//The following code will only run once
echo "Hello World\n";
});
- clearTimer(React\EventLoop\TimerInterface $timer): void;
This method will clear all timers(interval & timeout)
//Timeout
$timeout = setTimeout(1.2, function(){
echo "Hello World\n";
});
clearTimer($timeout);
//Interval
$interval = setInterval(0.7, function(){
echo "Hello Planet Earth.\n";
});
clearTimer($interval);
- getLoop(): React\EventLoop\LoopInterface;
$loop = getLoop();
