pause

Simple promise wrapper around setImmediate, setTimeout.

Why?

Useful when needing to suspend generator or async functions without doing anything.

const pause = require('pause-promise')
 
async test () {
  const elements = await getSomeArray()
 
  for (const element of elements) {
    // do stuff
 
    // hold off for 50 ms until next iteration
    await pause(50)
  }
}
 
test()
