js async sleep 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: how to wait in javascript

function pause(ms) {
  return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}

//Pause for 1000 milliseconds

pause(1000)

Example 3: nodejs promise sleep

await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 2000));

Example 4: await async 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 5: sleeping in js

function sleep(milliseconds) {
  var start = new Date().getTime();
  for (var i = 0; i < 1e7; i++) {
    if ((new Date().getTime() - start) > milliseconds){
      break;
    }
  }
}

//using sleep()
sleep(2000); //sleep for 2 seconds

Example 6: asyncio.sleep in javascript

let ms = 10000;
Atomics.wait(new Int32Array(new SharedArrayBuffer(4)), 0, 0, ms);

// exactly sleep in python or in bash
