Chronos is a collection of useful Grand Central Dispatch utilities. If you have any specific requests or ideas for new utilities, don't hesitate to create a new issue.

## Utilities

* **DispatchTimer** - A repeating timer that fires according to a static interval, e.g. "Fire every 5 seconds".

* **VariableTimer** - A repeating timer that allows you to vary the interval between firings, e.g. "Fire according to the function `interval = 2 * count`." 

# Usage 

### Quick Start

##### CocoaPods

Add the following to your Podfile:

```ruby

pod 'Chronos-Swift'

```

##### Carthage 

Add the following to your Cartfile:

```ruby

github "comyarzaheri/Chronos-Swift" "master"

```

### Using a Dispatch Timer

```swift

import Chronos

var timer = DispatchTimer(interval: 0.25, closure: {

            (timer: RepeatingTimer, count: Int) in

                println("Execute repeating task here")

            })

/** Starting the timer */

timer.start(true) // Fires timer immediately

/** Pausing the timer */

timer.pause()

/** Permanently canceling the timer */

timer.cancel()

```

### Using a Variable Timer

```swift

import Chronos

var variableTimer: VariableTimer = VariableTimer(closure: { 

            (timer: RepeatingTimer, count: Int) -> Void in

                println("Execute repeating task here")

        }) {(timer: VariableTimer, count: Int) -> Double in

                return Double(2 * count) // Return interval according to function

        }

/** Starting the timer */

timer.start(true) // Fires timer immediately

/** Pausing the timer */

timer.pause()

/** Permanently canceling the timer */

timer.cancel()

```
