EachWithTimeInterval

Iterates through an array with the required minimal time intervals (including the time required to process a single array element). Might be useful working with Twitter API when you are sure you are going to brake all the limits!

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'each_with_time_interval'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install each_with_time_interval

Usage

For instance this code

arry = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

arry.each_with_time_interval(2) do |el|
  # do something
end

runs in 8 seconds, and this code

arry = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

arry.each_with_time_interval(2) do |el|
  sleep 1
end

runs in 9 seconds (1 extra second on a sleep on a last iteration), and

arry = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

arry.each_with_time_interval(2) do |el|
  sleep 3
end

runs in 15 seconds ignoring the interval 2.

Methods #each_slice_with_time_interval(slice, interval)

arry.each_slice_with_time_interval(3, 1) do |el_slice|
  # do something
end

and #each_with_index_and_time_interval(interval)

arry.each_with_index_and_time_interval(2) do |el, i|
  # do something
end

are available too!
