Typescript sleep

Question

I\'m developing a website in Angular 2 using Typescript and I was wondering if there was a way to implement thread.sleep(ms) functionality.

My use case

Answer 1

For some reason the above accepted answer does not work in New versions of Angular (V6).

for that use this..

async delay(ms: number) {
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(()=>resolve(), ms)).then(()=>console.log("fired"));
}

above worked for me.

Usage:

this.delay(3000);

OR more accurate way

this.delay(3000).then(any=>{
     //your task after delay.
});
