sleep

Pause execution for a given number of milliseconds. Returns a promise that resolves after the delay.

Usage

import { sleep } from '@maz-ui/utils'

await sleep(500)
console.log('Half a second later')

API

function sleep(duration: number): Promise<void>

Parameter	Type	Description
duration	number	Delay in milliseconds

Returns a Promise<void> that resolves once the delay elapses.

Examples

Chain delays in a sequence:

async function rampUp() {
  console.log('Starting')
  await sleep(1000)
  console.log('1s later')
  await sleep(2000)
  console.log('3s later')
}

Use as a guard between retries with exponential backoff:

async function withRetry(task: () => Promise<void>, attempts = 3) {
  for (let i = 0; i < attempts; i++) {
    try {
      return await task()
    }
    catch {
      await sleep(2 ** i * 100)
    }
  }
  throw new Error('Max retries exceeded')
}
