Node.js Translation to Spanish - (1126 words) (Part-61)

Project Details

Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript run-time environment that executes JavaScript code outside of a browser.

Node.js came into existence when the original developers of JavaScript extended it from something you could only run in the browser to something you could run on your machine as a standalone application.

In simple words, it's an open source execution environment for developing web applications, which is event-based, it uses the V8 engine to provide an execution environment that compiles and executes JavaScript at a higher speed. It is possible to run Node.js without any restriction on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

It should be noted that it is NOT a server language, this means that it executes code, so it could be understood as an interpreter.

Contribution Specifications

Node.js is currently being translated into 33 languages. I'm contributing to translate it into the Spanish language.

So far, we have managed to translate 59% of the project!

Translation Overview

For this contribution, I translated the folder Timers-in-node.md.

The Timers module in Node.js contains functions that execute code after a set period of time.
When we talk about timers, their meaning is not at all different from the concept we already know: it allows us to program the activation or deactivation of different devices in a simple way; in this case, to program functions so that they execute the code when it's required.

Via Giphy

Timers do not need to be imported from a particular function, since all the methods are available globally to emulate the browser JavaScript API.

For example, setTimeout() can be used to schedule code execution after a designated amount of milliseconds. setTimeout() accepts a function to execute as its first argument and the millisecond delay defined as a number as the second argument. Additional arguments may also be included and these will be passed on to the function.

Via Node.js

The above function myFunc() will execute as close to 1500 milliseconds (or 1.5 seconds) as possible due to the call of setTimeout().

As an example of the work done, I will leave a fragment of the execution of the setImmediate() function explained in this module:

Proof of Authorship

This counter includes non-translatable words, so it is necessary to work on more content to extract an average of 1000 translatable words.
