async-asleep

Javascript has no sleep function. Asleep fixes that.

quick start

usage

1sleep = require('async-asleep');
2
3await sleep(500) // sleep for 500 milliseconds

how does it work

It simply returns a promise that will resolve in a set amount of time. By awaiting the result, you effectively sleep, passing control to other parts of your program in the meantime.

caveats

Because asleep is asynchronous, it is only useful in an asynchronous context where "await" is available.

I recommend making all code asynchronous, and using the async/await pattern where applicable. Any code that is not asynchronous will not have the ability to use the async/await pattern to synchronize. C'est la vie.

1async function main() {
2  // Put your code in here.
3}
4
5main();
