sleep thread in javascript code example

Example 1: node wait 10 seconds

async function init() {
  console.log(1);
  await sleep(1000);
  console.log(2);
}

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

// one liner
let sleep = ms => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));

Example 2: 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 3: javascript sleep settimeout

setTimeout(() => {  console.log("World!"); }, 2000);
