Change React loop addPeriodicTimer timer

[NotionCommotion]

After a React loop addPeriodicTimer timer is started, how do I change it?  For instance, how can I change interval1 timer within the socket on data callback?

 

Thanks

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use React\EventLoop\Factory;
use React\Socket\Connection;

$interval1=20;
$interval2=50;

$loop = Factory::create();
$app = new \ClientApp;

$server = @stream_socket_client("tcp://123.421.23.41:123", $errno, $errstr, STREAM_CLIENT_ASYNC_CONNECT);

$socket = new Connection($server, $loop);

$socket->on('data', function($data) use ($app) {
    //Change $interval1
});

$loop->addPeriodicTimer($interval1, function() use ($app) {
    $app->do_something();
});

$loop->addPeriodicTimer($interval2, function() use ($app) {
    $app->some_other_non_related_loop();  //Just shown so that you know there is more than one loop happening, so one must be able to somehow select the correct one when changing the timer
});

From digging around in the react code it looks like you just have to remove the timer then re-add it.

 

$timer1 = $loop->addPeriodicTimer($interval1, function() use ($app) {
    $app->do_something();
});

$socket->on('data', function($data) use ($app, $loop, &$timer1) {
    $loop->cancelTimer($timer1);
    $newInterval = 10;
    $timer1 = $loop->addPeriodicTimer($newInterval, function() use ($app){
        $app->do_something();
    });
});

Thanks kicken,

 

When "digging around", where do you normally start?  Does one normally start on the interface code?

Depends a bit on what I'm looking for.

 

In this case I was looking for a method to either re-register the timer or a way to change the interval of the timer so I started by just looking at the LoopInterface and TimerInterface. Neither of those have a way to change just the interval but the loop interface does have a cancel method.

 

I didn't really spend time looking around at any implementations as I figured if there is no way on the official interface then there's probably just not a way at all.

 

If I were more interested in knowing how something actually worked then I'd go directly to the implementation code rather than the interfaces.
