AngularTimers

This service is a way to manage long-polling across multiple pages in AngularJS applications.

Use case: You need to load data every few seconds on one page, but want it to stop or be paused when on another page.

#Use angular.module('yourApp', ['epTimer]);

angular.controller('yourController', function($scope, Timer){

/**
	 * @param {function} func 			Function to be called on a timer
	 * @param {int} interval    		Interval at which to call the function
	 * @param {bool} immediateStart		Should the function be called immediately, or wait the interval time to run
	 * @param {string} cancelEvent 		Event on which to cancel the timer (currently only resolve & pageChange supported)
	 * 
	 * @return int - Index of timer to cancel
	 */
var t = Timer.add(function(){
		console.log('I get called every 5 seconds');
	}, 5000, true, 'pageChange');
	
	//Timer.cancel(t);
	//Timer.cancelAll();

});

#Examples pageChange event:

	Timer.add(function(){
		console.log('I get called every 5 seconds');
	}, 5000, true, 'pageChange');

resolve event:

	Timer.add(function(){
		var d = $q.defer();
			if(1){
				console.log('I get resolved and then removed automatically');
				d.resolve();
			} else {
				d.reject();
			}
		});
		return d.promise;
	}, 5000, true, 'resolve');
