How can I create a timer in ros2?

Hi, I want to publish ROS messages with a non-periodic frequency. I see that rclcpp::create_wall_timer() uses a constant period for calling the callback function, which is not what I want. Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance!

Why would you do that? Can you please explain your use case in the question?

Every time when you call

publisher_->publish(message);

A message is published.

You could write a while true loop with thead sleep to get you a periodic behavior.
