angular-ticker

A simple service that is meant to facilitate repetitive tasks that run every X ms. The TickerSrv runs every 1000 ms.

Task invocation policy is determined per task.

• If the task is configured as Blocking, the TimingSrv will wait for the invocation to complete before resetting the interval (interval is calculated from the moment the invocation is complete).

• If the task is configured as Non-Blocking, the TimingSrv will not wait for the invocation to complete (interval is calculated from the moment the invocation is started).
  Note, that in this scenario the next invocation might be invoked before the previous one has completed.

For Blocking tasks, the handlerFunction is expected to return a promise that is resolved or rejected.
For Non-Blocking tasks the return value is ignored.
