About the Project

This repository contains a simplified event loop implementation written in TypeScript. The primary goal is to provide a basic understanding of how an event loop works. The event loop here is minimalistic and supports the addition of tasks, which are simple functions in this context.

Features

• Written in TypeScript
• Simple API to add tasks (functions)
• Basic event loop functionality
• Designed to run on Deno

Running

deno task start

Testing

deno test

The code in src/index.ts shows how to use the Event Loop:

// src/index.ts

import { EventLoop } from '@/event_loop.ts'

const eventLoop = new EventLoop()

eventLoop.enqueueTask(() => {
  console.log('Task 1')
})

eventLoop.enqueueDelayedTask(() => {
  console.log('Task 2')
}, 2000)

eventLoop.enqueueTask(() => {
  console.log('Task 3')
})

eventLoop.run()

// Output:
// Task 1
// Task 3
// Task 2
