Detailed Description

Timer that calls a std::function callback instead of requiring virtual override.

LambdaTimer provides a more convenient alternative to juce::Timer by accepting a lambda or std::function for the timer callback. This eliminates the need to create a subclass or override timerCallback() for simple timer operations.

Key Features:

• Accepts lambda functions or std::function callbacks
• Same timing capabilities as juce::Timer
• No need to create subclass for simple timers
• Callback can be changed at runtime
• Cleaner code for inline timer operations

The onTimer function is called at the specified interval. All juce::Timer methods are available (startTimer, stopTimer, isTimerRunning, etc.).

Usage:

// Create with lambda
LambdaTimer timer([this]() {
    updateDisplay();
});
timer.startTimer(100); // Call every 100ms
 
// Create and assign later
LambdaTimer timer;
timer.onTimer = [this]() {
    checkForUpdates();
};
timer.startTimer(1000); // Call every second
 
// Stop timer
timer.stopTimer();
