start

The start method begins the 'ticks' of the Manager, which will start the process of managing the schedules, timeouts, and retries of tasks.

start(): Manager

Note that this method will not immediately run any due task runs. Instead it will wait for the next tickInterval to pass before doing so. This means that you can expect this method to return very quickly.

Though you can stop and start the Manager as many times as you like, it is expected that you will only start it once at the beginning of your app's lifecycle, and then stop it when it closes and you are cleaning up.

import {createManager} from 'tinytick';

const manager = createManager();
manager.setTask('ping', async () => await fetch('https://example.org'));
manager.scheduleTaskRun('ping');

console.log(manager.getRunningTaskRunIds().length);
// -> 0

manager.start();
// ... wait 100ms (the Manager tickInterval) for task run to start

console.log(manager.getRunningTaskRunIds().length);
// -> 1
