js time 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: javascript sleep

function sleep(milliseconds) {
  const date = Date.now();
  let currentDate = null;
  do {
    currentDate = Date.now();
  } while (currentDate - date < milliseconds);
}

console.log("Hello");
sleep(2000);
console.log("World!");

Example 3: sleep js

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

async function demo() {
  console.log('Taking a break...');
  await sleep(2000);
  console.log('Two seconds later, showing sleep in a loop...');

  // Sleep in loop
  for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
    if (i === 3)
      await sleep(2000);
    console.log(i);
  }
}

demo();

Example 4: sleep function js

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

Example 5: 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 6: javascript sleep function

//Implement sleep function
function sleep(milliseconds) {
  return new Promise((resolve) => {
    setTimeout(resolve, milliseconds);
  });
}

//How to use sleep function
async function delayedGreeting() {
  console.log("Hello");
  
  await sleep(2000); //2 Seconds
  
  console.log("World!");
}

delayedGreeting();
