adding a sleep statement an await function works code example

Example 1: javascript sleep

const sleep = (milliseconds) => {
  return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, milliseconds))
}

/*Use like so*/

async function timeSensativeAction(){ //must be async func
  //do something here
  await sleep(5000) //wait 5 seconds
  //continue on...
}

Example 2: javascript async delay

const delay = (ms) => new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, ms));

(async () => {
  console.log('1');
  await delay(1000);
  console.log('2');
})();
