Delay a promise a specified amount of time
npm install yoctodelay> Delay a promise a specified amount of time
It's less than half the size of the nanodelay module.
Note: If you target Node.js 16 or later, you can use the built-in functionality instead:
``js
import {setTimeout as delay} from 'node:timers/promises';
await delay(100);
`
`
$ npm install yoctodelay
`js
import delay from 'yoctodelay';
foo();
await delay(100);
// Executed 100 milliseconds later
bar();
`
Delay the promise and then resolve.
#### milliseconds
Type: number
The duration to delay the promise.
It's the smallest official unit prefix in the metric system. Much smaller than nano.
Partly. The nanodelay module was created only because the delay module is a tiny bit larger. Well, this module is a tiny bit smaller than the nanodelay` module. Comparing size at the byte level is super silly. It doesn't matter unless the difference is more than many kilobytes. This is still a fully working module though. Go ahead and use it.
- delay - Similar to this module but with more features
