k6/timers
Implement timers to work with k6’s event loop. They mimic the functionality found in browsers and other JavaScript runtimes.
Function | Description |
---|---|
setTimeout | Sets a function to be run after a given timeout. |
clearTimeout | Clears a previously set timeout with setTimeout . |
setInterval | Sets a function to be run on a given interval. |
clearInterval | Clears a previously set interval with setInterval . |
Note
The timing methods are available globally, like in other JavaScript runtimes, and it is unnecessary to import them from thek6/timers
module.
Example
export default function () {
const intervalId = setInterval(() => {
console.log('This runs every 200ms');
}, 200);
const timeoutId = setTimeout(() => {
console.log('This runs after 2s');
// clear the timeout and interval to exit k6
clearInterval(intervalId);
clearTimeout(timeoutId);
}, 2000);
}
