Function: Simple Timer

    +

    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.
