function sleep

import { sleep } from "https://deno.land/x/proc@0.22.1/mod.ts";

sleep(delayms: number): Promise<void>

The sleep function is used to pause the execution of the program for a specified amount of time. It returns a Promise that resolves after a set number of milliseconds, effectively causing a delay in the execution of the subsequent code.

Parameters

delayms: number

The time in milliseconds for which the execution of the program will be halted. This parameter is required and must be a number.

Returns

Promise<void>

A Promise that resolves after the specified number of milliseconds. It does not return any value upon resolution.

Example

console.log("Program starts");
await sleep(2000);  // Pauses the execution for 2000 milliseconds
console.log("Program resumes after 2 seconds");

In the above example, the program will print "Program starts", then it will pause for 2 seconds, and then it will print "Program resumes after 2 seconds".
