Interface Timeout

If true, the Timeout object will keep the Node.js event loop active.

Since

v11.0.0

Sets the timer's start time to the current time, and reschedules the timer to call its callback at the previously specified duration adjusted to the current time. This is useful for refreshing a timer without allocating a new JavaScript object.

Using this on a timer that has already called its callback will reactivate the timer.

Since

v10.2.0

Returns

a reference to timeout
