es6-sleep

es6-sleep

ES6 ready sleep function, provides generator and promise.

To install:

npm install es6-sleep

Changes from 1.X

Now that async/await is becoming more popular, I've updated this module to provide both legacy (generator) functionality, along with a promise too. If you're updating to 2.X from 1.X, all you need to change is:

var sleep = require('es6-sleep');

to

var sleep = require('es6-sleep').generator;

Usage

To use the generator, say within a co runner, or within Koa middleware:

const sleep = require('es6-sleep').generator;

app.use(function *() {
    // do something
    yield sleep(1000);
    // continue
});

To use the promise, let's say with async/await:

const sleep = require('es6-sleep').promise;

(async function () {
    // do something
    await sleep(1000);
    // continue
})();
