Node.js module. Interrupts async functions after a short time span (default is 10 ms) so that other code in waiting in the event loop queue can run in between coming back to the function. Thus making it possible for several aync functions to fairly share processor time.
npm install fair-share
FairShare = require('fair-share');
async function func(){
// msBeforeShare is optional, defaults to 10 ms
let share = new FairShare({msBeforeShare: 5});
let randomNumberArray = [];
// a loop that is time consuming
while(randomNumberArray.length < 1000000){
randomNumberArray.push(Math.random());
// interrupts the loop after 5 ms
// thus sharing/not-blocking other code
share.do();
}
// there are stats about how many interrupts
// that were done to be had if you want to
console.log(share.stats);
