How to set time delay in javascript

ES-6 Solution

Below is a sample code which uses aync/await to have an actual delay.

There are many constraints and this may not be useful, but just posting here for fun..

const delay = (delayInms) => {
  return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, delayInms));
}

const sample = async () => {
  console.log('a');
  console.log('waiting...')
  let delayres = await delay(3000);
  console.log('b');
}
sample();

setTimeout(function(){


}, 500); 

Place your code inside of the { }

500 = 0.5 seconds

2200 = 2.2 seconds

etc.

Use setTimeout():

var delayInMilliseconds = 1000; //1 second

setTimeout(function() {
  //your code to be executed after 1 second
}, delayInMilliseconds);

If you want to do it without setTimeout: Refer to this question.
