Delayer

Add functionality to set unique, named timeouts and intervals so they can be cleared afterwards when disposing the object. This is especially useful in your custom View class which inherits from the standard Chaplin.View.

Mixin this object to add the delayer capability to any object:

_.extend(object, Delayer);

Or to a prototype of a class:

_.extend(View.prototype, Delayer)

In the dispose method, call clearDelayed to remove all pending timeouts and running intervals:

dispose: function() {
  if (this.disposed) return;
  this.clearDelayed();
  <super>
}

For browsers and node.js.

Installation

• Just include delayer before your scripts.
• npm install delayer if you’re using node.js.
• component install chaplinjs/delayer if you’re using component(1).
• bower install delayer if you’re using Twitter Bower.

Usage

Node.js:

var delayer = require('delayer');
_.extend(thing, delayer);

Browser:

// component(1)
var delayer = require('delayer');
_.extend(thing, delayer);

// Default:
_.extend(thing, window.delayer)
