Timeloop 
Timeloop is a simple Ruby gem that provides loop with time interval inspired on 'every' method from whenever gem.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'timeloop'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install timeloop
Usage
Require gem in you Ruby file:
require 'timeloop'
Timeloop.every 10.seconds do
puts '10 seconds delay'
end
# Result:
# 10 seconds delay
# 10 seconds delay
# 10 seconds delay
# ...
Timeloop.every 3.hours do
Mail.deliver do
from 'me@test.email'
to 'you@test.email'
subject '1 hour message'
body 'Hi, you will get that message every hour. Be prepared!'
end
end
Timeloop.every :minute do
product = 2 * 2
puts "and 2 * 2 is still #{product}"
end
# Result:
# and 2*2 is still 4
# and 2*2 is still 4
# and 2*2 is still 4
# ...You can also specify how many times your block will be evaluated:
Timeloop.every 10.seconds, maximum: 4.times do |i|
puts i
end
# Result:
# 0
# 1
# 2
# 3
# => 4
Timeloop.every 'second', maximum: 3 do |i|
puts 'You will see me only 3 times.'
end
# Result:
# You will see me only 3 times.
# You will see me only 3 times.
# You will see me only 3 times.
# => 3If you want to include the every method in your own classes simply
include the Timeloop::Helper module.
class MyClass
include Timeloop::Helper
def doit
every 10.seconds, max: 4 do |i|
puts i
end
end
