settimeout array javascript code example

Example 1: how to set a timeout on an array element

var ary = ['kevin', 'mike', 'sally'];

for(let i = 1; i <= ary.length; i++){
    setTimeout(function(){
        console.log(ary[i - 1]);
      }, 5000 * i); 
}

Example 2: how to set a timeout on an array element

function ArrayPlusDelay(array, delegate, delay) {
  var i = 0
  
  function loop() {
  	  // each loop, call passed in function
      delegate(array[i]);
      
      // increment, and if we're still here, call again
      if (i++ < array.length - 1)
          setTimeout(loop, delay); //recursive
  }

  // seed first call
  setTimeout(loop, delay);
}

// call like this
ArrayPlusDelay(['d','e','f'], function(obj) {console.log(obj)},1000)

Example 3: how to set a timeout on an array element

function ArrayPlusDelay(array, delegate, delay) {
  var i = 0
  
   // seed first call and store interval (to clear later)
  var interval = setInterval(function() {
    	// each loop, call passed in function
      delegate(array[i]);
      
        // increment, and if we're past array, clear interval
      if (i++ >= array.length - 1)
          clearInterval(interval);
  }, delay)
  
}

ArrayPlusDelay(['x','y','z'], function(obj) {console.log(obj)},1000)
