##now-immediate

Package provide function, that returns timestamp in ms (like `Date.now()`).

 

But after 1st usage, on this event loop, function will return 1st answer.

Example:

    var nowIm = require('now-immediate');

    console.log('Start');

    console.log('Date.now(): '+Date.now()+'\tnowIm(): '+nowIm());

    for(var i = 0; i < 10000000; i++){

      /123/.test(i);

    }

    console.log('Finish');

    console.log('Date.now(): '+Date.now()+'\tnowIm(): '+nowIm());

    setImmediate(function(){

      console.log('Next loop');

      console.log('Date.now(): '+Date.now()+'\tnowIm(): '+nowIm());

    });

    

The result will be:

    Start

    Date.now(): 1460683017773       nowIm(): 1460683017773

    Finish

    Date.now(): 1460683019252       nowIm(): 1460683017773

    Next loop

    Date.now(): 1460683019254       nowIm(): 1460683019254

    

In some case, you may need this behaviour. Also it X16+ just faster, than `Date.now()`.
