Using temporal:
var temporal = require("temporal");
var startIndex = 0;
var endIndex = 10;
var incrementIndex = 1;
var delay = 100;
var array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
var tasks = [];
while ( startIndex < endIndex ) {
for ( var i = 0; i < array.length; i++ ) {
tasks.push({
delay: delay,
task: function() {
console.log(i, Date.now());
// do stuff
}
});
}
startIndex = startIndex + incrementIndex;
tasks.push({
delay: delay,
task: function() {
console.log(startIndex, Date.now());
// do stuff
}
})
}
temporal.queue(tasks);
// Output:

There is a 1 ms drift, but aside from that all tasks occurred exactly 100ms
apart.
