Sleep / pause execution using Promises and flexible time formats
npm install sleep-ts'3s' and '1h' (any string that cansh
$ yarn add sleep-ts
or
$ npm install --save sleep-ts
`Usage
js
import {sleep} from 'sleep-ts';
// or
const sleep = require('sleep-ts').sleep;// With async/await
(async function slowHelloWorld() {
console.log('Hello');
// a number argument is treated as milliseconds, so this will
// sleep for 1 second
await sleep(1000);
// a string argument is parsed, so this will sleep for 2 seconds
await sleep('2s');
console.log('World');
})()
// With raw Promises
sleep(4000).then(() => {
console.log('PING');
// If you pass a second argument, the sleep Promise will
// resolve with the given value.
return sleep(3000, 'PONG');
}).then(response => {
console.log(response);
});
`Output:
sh
Hello
3 seconds later
World
1 second later
PING
3 seconds later
PONG

* If you don't care about the fancy time format parsing, you can use sleep-promise, which might save you a subdependency on the
