# nextTick [![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][test-image]][test-url] [![Coverage Status][coverage-image]][coverage-url] > Add a callback to the "next tick queue".

## Installation ```bash npm install @stdlib/utils-next-tick ```

## Usage ```javascript var nextTick = require( '@stdlib/utils-next-tick' ); ``` #### nextTick( clbk\[, ...args] ) Adds a callback to the "next tick queue". ```javascript function beep() { console.log( 'boop' ); } nextTick( beep ); ```

## Notes - The queue is fully drained after the current operation on the JavaScript stack runs to completion and before the event loop is allowed to continue. - Creating an infinite loop is possible if `nextTick` is called recursively.

## Examples ```javascript var nextTick = require( '@stdlib/utils-next-tick' ); function beep( x, y, z ) { console.log( 'boop: %d %d %d', x, y, z ); } nextTick( beep, 1, 2, 3 ); ```
