pause

A native module for effectively pausing the current thread. Used for busy waiting scenarios where you want to check something every few milliseconds / seconds.

Usage

var pause = require('pause-js');

var start = Date.now();
var res = pause.millis(1000);
var end = Date.now();

console.log(end - start); // => 1000

var start = Date.now();
var res = pause.seconds(1);
var end = Date.now();

console.log((end - start) / 1000 ); // => 1

Installation

With npm do

$ npm install pause

Then bundle for the browser with browserify.
