js sleep timer 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 wait 1 second

setTimeout(function(){ 
    console.log("Ready")
}, 1000);

Example 3: wait javascript

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

Example 4: javascript version of sleep

//Javascipt is asyncronous so you can't pause/block code execution
//You can delay doing something with setTimeout
setTimeout(function(){
 	alert("Sup!"); 
}, 2000);//wait 2 seconds

Example 5: javascript sleep function

sleep = milliseconds => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, milliseconds));

//        V  Must add this async keyword
sayHi = async () => {
  	// V Must include await
	await sleep(1000); // Sleep 1000 milliseconds (1 second)
  	console.log('Hi');
  	// Rest of code...
}
