trait Timer[F[_]] extends AnyRef

Timer is a scheduler of tasks.

This is the purely functional equivalent of:

It provides:

  1. the ability to get the current time
  2. ability to delay the execution of a task with a specified time duration

It does all of that in an F monadic context that can suspend side effects and is capable of asynchronous execution (e.g. IO).

This is NOT a type class, as it does not have the coherence requirement.

Abstract Value Members

  1. abstract def clock: Clock[F]

    Returns a Clock instance associated with this timer that can provide the current time and do time measurements.

  2. abstract def sleep(duration: FiniteDuration): F[Unit]

    Creates a new task that will sleep for the given duration, emitting a tick when that time span is over.

    Creates a new task that will sleep for the given duration, emitting a tick when that time span is over.

    As an example on evaluation this will print "Hello!" after 3 seconds:

    import cats.effect._
import scala.concurrent.duration._

Timer[IO].sleep(3.seconds).flatMap { _ =>
  IO(println("Hello!"))
}

    Note that sleep is required to introduce an asynchronous boundary, even if the provided timespan is less or equal to zero.
