Readme
Create a deferred promise
Don't use this unless you know what you're doing. Prefer the Promise
constructor.
$ npm install p-defer
import pDefer from 'p-defer';
function delay(milliseconds) {
const deferred = pDefer();
setTimeout(deferred.resolve, milliseconds, '🦄');
return deferred.promise;
}
console.log(await delay(100));
//=> '🦄'
The above is just an example. Use delay
if you need to delay a promise.

with a promise
property and functions to resolve()
and reject()
