Chronos is a collection of useful Grand Central Dispatch utilities. If you have any specific requests or ideas for new utilities, don't hesitate to create a new issue.
Chronos is part of a larger library for iOS and OS X called Olympus, which is currently under active development.
- DispatchTimer - A repeating timer that fires according to a static interval, e.g. "Fire every 5 seconds".
- VariableTimer - A repeating timer that allows you to vary the interval between firings, e.g. "Fire according to the function
interval = 2 * count.
Chronos is available through Cocoa Pods. Add the following to your Podfile:
pod 'Chronos-Swift'Chronos is available through Carthage. Add the following to your Cartfile:
github "Olympus-Library/Chronos-Swift" "master"If you see the following error message:
[!] Unable to find a specification for
Chronos-Swift
Due to a bug in libgit2, your local copy of the Cocoapods Specs repository may need to be removed and re-cloned. More information on why and how to do this is available on the Cocoapods blog.
