setInterval and clearInterval implementation with using Web-Workers to keep up and running on inactive tabs for Chrome, Firefox and IE

Most of the modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox and IE), intervals are clamped to fire no more often than once per second in inactive tabs. For that reason, decided to implement a library to avoid throttling on timers.

npm install worker-interval

import * as workerInterval from 'worker-interval';

// setInterval
const intervalId = workerInterval.setInterval(/*function*/, 1000);

// clearInterval
workerInterval.clearInterval(intervalId);
