yoctodelay
Delay a promise a specified amount of time
It's less than half the size of the nanodelay module.
Note: If you target Node.js 16 or later, you can use the built-in functionality instead:
1import {setTimeout as delay} from 'node:timers/promises'; 2 3await delay(100);
Install
$ npm install yoctodelay
Usage
1import delay from 'yoctodelay'; 2 3foo(); 4 5await delay(100); 6 7// Executed 100 milliseconds later 8bar();
API
delay(milliseconds)
Delay the promise and then resolve.
milliseconds
Type: number
The duration to delay the promise.
FAQ
What is yocto?
It's the smallest official unit prefix in the metric system. Much smaller than nano.
Is this a joke?
Partly. The nanodelay module was created only because the delay module is a tiny bit larger. Well, this module is a tiny bit smaller than the nanodelay module. Comparing size at the byte level is super silly. It doesn't matter unless the difference is more than many kilobytes. This is still a fully working module though. Go ahead and use it.
