wait

Syntactic sugar for setTimeout and setInterval.

wait(time, callback)

Sugar for setTimeout.

wait(100, function(){
    // Do something in 100 milliseconds
});

wait('2s', function(){
    // Do something in 2 seconds
});

repeat(time, callback, callBefore = false)

Sugar for setInterval.

If callBefore is true the callback will be executed before the interval.

repeat(100, function() {
    // Do something every 100 milliseconds
});

repeat('1 min', function() {
    // Do something every minute
});

repeat('1 min', function() {
    // Run immediately and every minute
}, true);

Time can be specified in various formats:

If time is a number, it will be interpreted as milliseconds.
