Usage in Deno
import { Immediate } from "node:timers";
This object is created internally and is returned from setImmediate(). It
can be passed to clearImmediate() in order to cancel the scheduled
actions.
By default, when an immediate is scheduled, the Node.js event loop will continue
running as long as the immediate is active. The Immediate object returned by setImmediate() exports both immediate.ref() and immediate.unref() functions that can be used to
control this default behavior.
_onImmediate: Function
[Symbol.dispose](): void
Cancels the immediate. This is similar to calling clearImmediate().
hasRef(): boolean
If true, the Immediate object will keep the Node.js event loop active.
ref(): this
When called, requests that the Node.js event loop not exit so long as the Immediate is active. Calling immediate.ref() multiple times will have no
effect.
By default, all Immediate objects are "ref'ed", making it normally unnecessary
to call immediate.ref() unless immediate.unref() had been called previously.
unref(): this
When called, the active Immediate object will not require the Node.js event
loop to remain active. If there is no other activity keeping the event loop
running, the process may exit before the Immediate object's callback is
invoked. Calling immediate.unref() multiple times will have no effect.
