Function secondsMsSource

Returns function which produces a random number of seconds, with a unit of milliseconds. Maximum value is exclusive. Use secondsMs to return a random value directly, or secondsMsSource to return a function.

Example: Random milliseconds between 0..4999

// Create function
const f = secondsMsSource(5000);
// Produce a value
const value = f();
Copy

Example: Options can be provided

// Random milliseconds between 1000-4999
const value = secondsMsSource({ max:5, min:1 })();
// Note the extra () at the end to execute the function
Copy

Remarks

It's a very minor function, but can make code a little more literate:

// Random timeout of up to 5 seconds
setTimeout(() => { ...}, secondsMsSource(5));
Copy
