xnew.timeout

xnew.timeout creates a timer that executes a callback function after a specified delay. The callback function is executed within the current xnew scope, ensuring that it has access to the same context as other xnew operations.

xnew.timeout(callback, delay);

Example

xnew((self) => {
  const timeout = xnew.timeout(() => {
    // This function is called after 100 ms within the current xnew scope.
  }, 100);

  // To cancel the timeout, call the following:
  // timeout.clear();
});

tip

If the parent unit is finalized, the timer is automatically cleared. Additionally, the callback function provided to xnew.timeout will always execute within the current xnew scope.
