@trenskow/wait

A promisified version of setTimeout.

Usage

const wait = require('@trenskow/wait');

await wait('2s');

Waits two seconds.

Time Interval Format

Internally it uses the ms package – see that package for documentation.

Cancelling

You can also cancel the wait before the specified time.

const waiter = wait('2s');

setTimeout(waiter.cancel, 1000);

await waiter;

/* returns after one second instead of two because `setTimeout` triggers the elapse function of `waiter`. */
