def self.client_set_timeout(interval)
  if Volt.in_browser?
    `setTimeout(function() {`
      yield
    `}, interval)`
  else
    yield
  end
end

.flush_next_tick_timers! ⇒ Object

On the server, we need to manually flush next tick timers. This is done automatically in the console after each enter.

def self.flush_next_tick_timers!
  tick_timers = Thread.current['tick_timers']

  if tick_timers
    # clear
    Thread.current['tick_timers'] = nil
    tick_timers.each(&:call)
  end
end

.next_tick(&block) ⇒ Object

next tick (same as setImmediate) calls the block of code after any currently running code is finished.
