variable time.tick

import { time } from "https://deno.land/x/async_channels@v1.0.0-rc8/mod.ts";
const { tick } = time;

tick is a convenience wrapper for new Ticker(d) providing access to the ticking channel only. While tick is useful for clients that have no need to shut down the Ticker, be aware that without a way to shut it down the underlying Ticker cannot be recovered by the garbage collector; it "leaks".

Examples

Example 1

import { time } from "./mod.ts";

for await (const cur of time.tick(5 * time.Duration.Second)) {
  console.log(`current time: ${cur}`)
}

type

(duration: number) => Receiver<Date>
