# tickedoff

> Tiny library (<200B gzip) for deferring something by a "tick"

- Using `setTimeout` is actually a bit slow because its clamped to 4ms

- `setImmediate` is not available in most places (and probably never will be)

- `process.nextTick` is only in Node

- `Promise#then` needs polyfills in places

- `tickedoff` uses whatever the best available option is

- There are more robust libraries/polyfills but they are larger in size

- This is all especially good for libraries to use

## Install

```sh

yarn add tickedoff

```

## Usage

```js

const defer = require('tickedoff');

console.log(1);

defer(() => console.log(3));

console.log(2);

// 1

// 2

// 3

```

## Perf

```sh

$ node perf.js

process.nextTick x 10000 = 24ms

Promise#then x 10000 = 29ms

setImmediate x 10000 = 68ms

setTimeout x 10000 = 13506ms

```
