Why the rush…?!

Whether you're faking an API response, introducing deliberate cognitive drain, or simply want to slow things down this utility function has got you, baby! 😎

const delay = ms => new Promise(rv => setTimeout(rv, ms))

Cool! How do I use it?

delay(500).then(() => console.log(`hello world`))

Nice! Does it work with async/await?

Heck, yes, it does!

const functionName = async () => {

  doFirstThing()

  await delay(500)

  doNextThing()
}
