@cdellacqua/sleep
Delay execution using Promises.
This library implements a sleep
function that uses
setTimeout
under the hood to create a Promise
that resolves after a specified number of milliseconds.
Contrary to the bare setTimeout
function, this library
also supports delays greater than 2147483647 (0x7fffffff, ~24.8 days).
NPM Package
npm install @cdellacqua/sleep

Highlights
Basic usage example:
import {sleep} from '@cdellacqua/sleep';
sleep(1000).then(() => console.log('see you in a sec!'));
Same example, with await:
import {sleep} from '@cdellacqua/sleep';
async function example() {
await sleep(1000);
console.log('see you in a sec!');
}
Skip timeout after 500ms:
import {sleep} from '@cdellacqua/sleep';
async function example() {
const sleepPromise = sleep(1000);
setTimeout(() => sleepPromise.skip(), 500);
await sleepPromise;
console.log('see you in half a sec!');
}
