Crate simpler_timer

simpler_timer

A simple timer mechanism to track arbitrary timeouts. It doesn't do anything fancy, e.g. no callbacks upon expiry, just give it a Duration and poll if the timer is expired. Timers can be reset and reused for periodic contexts, such as a simple time based control loop.

Example

use std::time::Duration;
 
// 100ms timer
let tick = Timer::with_duration(Duration::from_millis(100));
// 1 sec timer
let end = Timer::with_duration(Duration::from_secs(1));
 
loop {
    if tick.expired() {
        // do something interesting
        println!("tick");
        tick.reset();
    }
 
    if end.expired() { 
        // don't reset, let's get out of here
        break; 
    }
}
 
println!("total time: {}ms", end.elapsed().as_millis());
