A simple Go library providing functionality for generating durations and tickers that deviate from true periodicity within specified bounds.
Most notably, contains a nearly API compatible version of time.Ticker with
definable jitter.
For usage details, see the Go documentation.
// ticker with base duration of 1 second and 0.5 scaling factor
ticker := jitter.NewTicker(time.Second, 0.5)
defer ticker.Stop()
prev := time.Now()
for {
t := <-ticker.C // time elapsed random in range (0.5s, 1.5s)
fmt.Println("Time elapsed since last tick: ", t.Sub(prev))
prev = t
}
