Function interval

pub fn interval(period: Duration) -> Interval

Available on crate feature time only.

Creates new Interval that yields with interval of duration. The first tick completes immediately.

An interval will tick indefinitely. At any time, the Interval value can be dropped. This cancels the interval.

This function is equivalent to interval_at(Instant::now(), period).

Panics

This function panics if period is zero.

Examples

use tokio::time::{self, Duration};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    let mut interval = time::interval(Duration::from_millis(10));

    interval.tick().await;
    interval.tick().await;
    interval.tick().await;

    // approximately 20ms have elapsed.
}
