Goal: Create a Simple Timer that triggers in the future on each mutation.
-
This function simpleTimer merely demonstrates a basic Evening Timer.
-
Requires Eventing Storage (or metadata collection) and a "source" collection.
-
Will operate on any mutation where the KEY or meta.id starts with "simpletimer:".
-
The result of processing the mutation is a Timer that will be executed approximately 30 seconds in the future.
-
For more details on Timers refer to Timers.
-
For an example of a recurring Timer refer to: Recurring Timer.

}

// You would typically filter to mutations of interest
if (! meta.id.startsWith("simpletimer:")) return;
// Make a Date 30 seconds in the future
var thirtySecFromNow = new Date(); // Get current time & add 30 sec. to it.
thirtySecFromNow.setSeconds(thirtySecFromNow.getSeconds() + 30);
// Timers require an id
var timer_id = meta.id;
// Timers can access a context when they fire
var context = {"id": meta.id, "random": Math.random(), "sched": thirtySecFromNow, doc: doc}
// crate the Timer
