Selenium WebDriver wait till element is displayed

I stumbled upon an answer to my question

So to wait for an element to appear we have to:

driver.wait(function () {
    return driver.isElementPresent(webdriver.By.name("username"));
}, timeout);

You can register a listener on webdriver.wait by using then()

driver.wait(until.elementLocated(By.name('username')), 5 * 1000).then(el => {
    el.sendKeys(username);
});

You don't need a custom function, you can just do this:

let el = await driver.findElement(By.id(`import-file-acqId:${acqId}`));
await driver.wait(until.elementIsVisible(el),100);
await el.sendKeys(file);

See the docs here.
