Three separate approaches listed here:
- Manually nest
setTimeout()
callbacks.
- Use a chainable timer object.
- Wrap
setTimeout()
in a promise and chain promises.
Manually Nest setTimeout callbacks
Of course. When the first one fires, just set the next one.
setTimeout(function() {
// do something
setTimeout(function() {
// do second thing
}, 1000);
}, 1000);
Chainable Timer Object
You can also make yourself a little utility object that will let you literally chain things which would let you chain calls like this:
delay(fn1, 400).delay(fn2, 500).delay(fn3, 800);
function delay(fn, t) {
// private instance variables
var queue = [], self, timer;
function schedule(fn, t) {
timer = setTimeout(function() {
timer = null;
fn();
if (queue.length) {
var item = queue.shift();
schedule(item.fn, item.t);
}
}, t);
}
self = {
delay: function(fn, t) {
// if already queuing things or running a timer,
// then just add to the queue
if (queue.length || timer) {
queue.push({fn: fn, t: t});
} else {
// no queue or timer yet, so schedule the timer
schedule(fn, t);
}
return self;
},
cancel: function() {
clearTimeout(timer);
queue = [];
return self;
}
};
return self.delay(fn, t);
}
function log(args) {
var str = "";
for (var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++) {
if (typeof arguments[i] === "object") {
str += JSON.stringify(arguments[i]);
} else {
str += arguments[i];
}
}
var div = document.createElement("div");
div.innerHTML = str;
var target = log.id ? document.getElementById(log.id) : document.body;
target.appendChild(div);
}
function log1() {
log("Message 1");
}
function log2() {
log("Message 2");
}
function log3() {
log("Message 3");
}
var d = delay(log1, 500)
.delay(log2, 700)
.delay(log3, 600)
