# DelayedActions

The `DelayedActions` component allows you to execute one or more actions after a delay or at regular intervals. It is useful for implementing polling, periodic updates, or delayed reactions in your Reactive-JSON applications.

## Properties
- `delayedActions` (array, required): Array of action objects to execute after the delay or at each interval.
- `interval` (number, required): The delay or interval in milliseconds between executions.
- `once` (boolean, optional): If true, actions are executed only once after the delay; if false (default), actions repeat at each interval.
- `content` (object/array, optional): Content to render inside the component.

## Behavior
- Executes all actions in `delayedActions` after the specified delay or at each interval.
- If `once` is true, actions are executed only once; otherwise, they repeat at each interval.
- Actions are executed without requiring a user event (time is the trigger).
- The component can render content, but the main purpose is to trigger actions.
- If `interval` is not provided, no actions are executed.

## Example
```yaml
renderView:
  - type: Phantom
    actions:
      - # This will prevent infinite add.
        what: hide
        andConditions:
          - whenDataCountOf: $.tick[*]
            ">": 1000
    content:
      - type: DelayedActions
        interval: 2000
        delayedActions:
          - what: addData
            path: ~~.tick
            value: "Ticked!"
        content:
          - type: p
            content:
              - "Tick count: "
              - type: Count
                jsonPathPattern: "$.tick[*]"

data: {}
```

## Limitations
- Only supports time-based triggering (no event-based delay).
- All actions are executed in the order provided.
- No built-in error handling for action execution.
- If `interval` is missing or invalid, nothing happens.
