Global Timer in Javascript with Multiple Callbacks
- by Mike Beepo
I want to create a global timer object in javascript and then be able to add callbacks to it on the fly. This way I can just use one global timer in my script to execute all actions at a certain interval rather than wasting resources by using multiples.
This is how I want to be able to piece things together:
var timer = new function() {
clearInterval( this.interval );
//[1] At this point I want the Callbacks to be run
var self = this;
setTimeout(function() {self.timer()}, 200);
}
function otherObject = new function() {
//When created I want to bind my object's function called cb to the global timer at [1]
}
otherObject.prototype.cb = function() {
//Stuff that should be done every time the timer is run
}
var someObject = new otherObject();
How would I make it possible bind any number functions (most of which are functions within other objects) to run at the interval of my timer on the fly?
