Struct DtactInterval 

pub struct DtactInterval { /* private fields */ }

A repeating timer. tick() is a plain async method mirroring tokio::time::Interval::tick.

Implementations

impl DtactInterval

pub fn new(period: Duration) -> Self

Build an interval firing every period, starting one period from now, with the default MissedTickBehavior::Burst catch-up policy (change it via Self::set_missed_tick_behavior).

Panics

Panics if period is zero — a zero-length period has no sensible tick rate and almost always indicates a caller bug (e.g. an unintended default Duration::ZERO).

pub const fn missed_tick_behavior(&self) -> MissedTickBehavior

The current missed-tick catch-up policy.

pub const fn set_missed_tick_behavior(&mut self, behavior: MissedTickBehavior)

Change the missed-tick catch-up policy. Takes effect starting from the next Self::tick call — doesn’t retroactively change how the interval caught up (or didn’t) from any prior lateness.

pub async fn tick(&mut self) -> Instant

Wait for the next tick, returning the Instant it fired at.
