=========

Javascript async the way I like it.

## Installation

`npm install async-threading`

## Usage

```javascript

let Thread = require('async-threading');

```

### - Tasks

Same scope as block:

```javascript

let callEverySecond = new Thread( () => {

    console.log(callEverySecond.fireTimes + ' seconds have passed.');

}, 1000);

```

    

Anonymous scope:

```javascript

let callEverySecond = new Thread( function () {

    console.log(this.fireTimes + ' seconds have passed.');

}, 1000);

```

  * Methods for task Threads

    * `.toggle()` Sets the Thread to the opposite state.

    * `.kill()` Stops and sets the Thread to `undefined`.

  

  

  These will be called ever `1000ms` (one second).

  

  - Warning: I do not recomend doing `new Thread` without assigning it to a variable, because you will not be able to `toggle` or `kill` it.

    

### - Delayed Asynchronous Statements and Functions

Asynchronous delayed statement:

```javascript

Thread.spawn( () => {

    console.log('1 second has passed.');

}, 1000);

```

Anonymous asynchronous delayed function:

```javascript

Thread.spawn( function () {

    console.log('1 second has passed.');

}, 1000);

```

These will execute `1000ms` (one second) after they are declared

### - Asynchronous Statements and Functions

Asynchronous statement:

```javascript

Thread.do( async () => {

    console.log('Code has been executed asynchronously.');

});

```

Anonymous asynchronous function:

```javascript

Thread.do( async function () {

    console.log('Code has been executed asynchronously.');

});

```

These will execute immediately and asynchronously once they are called.
