sleep-ms

Sleep MS is primarily a command-line tool that emulates BASH SLEEP
command using NodeJS.

Why sleep-ms?

First and foremost, it provides the ability to stall execution in milliseconds. SLEEP command supports seconds only
(unless you install bash with loadable sleep).
Secondly, a number of CI platforms do not support sleep within scripts, but if you are on NodeJS stack, you can easily
utilise this module to overcome this limitation.

Installing sleep-ms

``terminal
npm install sleep-ms --save;
`

Using CLI

`terminal


sleep for 1 second


sleepms 1000;
`
> It is recommended that you do a global install using npm install sleep-ms -g;

Using the JS API

Usually there would not be any need to use this since using setTimeout in JavaScript is equivalent to this.

`javascript
var sleepms = require('sleep-ms');

// sleep for one second
sleepms(1000);
