Simple wait module for streams3 in node
npm install wait-stream
Set a delay in a pipeline using setTimeout. Works well with Gulp.
Uses through2 as opposed to node core's stream module. See this excellent article by @rvagg for more:
> Why I don't use Node's core 'stream' module
#### timeout
> _{number}_ The delay in ms to pass to setTimeout.
#### once
> _{boolean}_ The delay will only happen for the first chunk to enter the stream; all other chunks will pass through immediately.
``js
const wait = require('wait-stream');
pipeline
.pipe(wait(500)) // wait 500 ms before continuing
.pipe(nextTask);
`
> Added because of the rising popularity of Gulp.
`js
const gulp = require('gulp');
const wait = require('wait-stream');
gulp.task('default', build);
function build() {
gulp.src('source/**')
.pipe(build) // could be anything
.pipe(wait(500)) // wait 500 ms before continuing
.pipe(gulp.dest('dest'));
}
