Server side timer?

[simo]

Hello,

I've created a js haxe project, but not to run at client side, I want to run it as an algorithm calculator at node js server.

The problem is I need to use a timer, the timer function at haxe will be compiled to use window.setInterval, which of course will not work at server side.

Is there an alternative to haxe timer in my case?

Thanks

Are you using blackdog's externals?

https://github.com/cloudshift/hx-node/blob/master/js/Node.hx

Therein you have Node.setInterval.

A hacky alternative is to inject some raw javascript that redeclares
window: `var window = global`

Yes, I am using nodejs externs, Node.setInterval solved the problem, thanks!
