feat($timeout): add $timeout service that supersedes $defer
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
$timeout has a better name ($defer got often confused with something related to $q) and
is actually promise based with cancelation support.

With this commit the $defer service is deprecated and will be removed before 1.0.

Closes #704, #532

/**
* @ngdoc function

*
* @description
* Angular's wrapper for `window.setTimeout`. The `fn` function is wrapped into a try/catch
* block and delegates any exceptions to
* {@link angular.module.ng.$exceptionHandler $exceptionHandler} service.
*
* The return value of registering a timeout function is a promise which will be resolved when
* the timeout is reached and the timeout function is executed.
*
* To cancel a the timeout request, call `$timeout.cancel(promise)`.
*
* In tests you can use {@link angular.module.ngMock.$timeout `$timeout.flush()`} to
* synchronously flush the queue of deferred functions.
*
* @param {function()} fn A function, who's execution should be delayed.
* @param {number=} [delay=0] Delay in milliseconds.
* @param {boolean=} [invokeApply=true] If set to false skips model dirty checking, otherwise
* will invoke `fn` within the {@link angular.module.ng.$rootScope.Scope#$apply $apply} block.
* @returns {*} Promise that will be resolved when the timeout is reached. The value this
* promise will be resolved with is the return value of the `fn` function.
