ts-wait

I'm tired to write a wait function again and agin in my projects, so I make this simple project.

await wait(100) // wait 100 milliseconds

This lib does not do only this. Mainly it allows to set timetou on function, ethier synchronous or asynchronous:

 try {
   const func = ()=> {/* do something synchronous */},
   const result = await waitUntil(
     func,
     10000 // <- in milliseconds
   );
 } catch (err) {
   if (isTimeoutError(error)) { {
     // fn does not complete after 10 seconds
   } else {
     // fn throws an exception
   }
 }

It throws an error of type TimeoutError it timeout occurs. The isTimeoutError is a type guard to check is error is a TimeoutError.

To set a timeout on an async function

try {
  const result = await waitUntilAsync(async () => {
    /* do something */
  }, 10000);
} catch (err) {
  if (isTimeoutError(error)) {
    // fn does not complete after 10 seconds
  } else {
    // fn throws an exception
  }
}
