h1. NSTimer+JCSBlocks
An extension of NSTimer that lets you use a block to be run when the timer fires instead of passing a callback method.
There are two methods; one which lets you fire an optionally repeating timer with a block, and another which lets you fire a timer repeatedly, but which can be stopped from within the passed block.
h2. Branch structure for submodules
There are two branches to this repository, master and demo. If you just want to use the class extension, the master branch is the one you should be using.
h3. The master Branch
The master branch just contains the class files and this README file. This is the branch to use if you are installing the class files as a Git submodule. As submodules are added in a headless state it is often preferable to explicitly state the branch you are cloning. So this is the command I recommend you use:
bc. git submodule add -b master https://github.com/Abizern/NSTimer-JCSBlocks
h3. The demo Branch
the demo branch contains a very simple example of the use of this class extension. No development of the main files should be done on that branch.
Changes made to the master branch will be merged across to demo, so it should always remain current with respect to master.
h2. Documentation
The generation for this extension is generated from the header comments from "appledoc":http://gentlebytes.com/appledoc/, and is available "online here":http://abizern.github.com/NSTimer-JCSBlocks/docs/index.html.
h2. Updates
To keep up to date with the latest changes cd into the directory that contains this submodule and pull the newest changes as usual
bc. git pull origin
h2. Artefacts
Sometimes, there may be artefacts left over when switching from master to production. These are files that are ignored by Git and are easily cleaned up by running
bc. git clean -dxf

Use it, fix it, or be inspired to replace callbacks with blocks in your own code!
