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

With RxJS:

import { timer } from 'rxjs';

// ...

timer(your_delay_in_ms).subscribe(x => { your_action_code_here })

x is 0.

If you give a second argument period to timer, a new number will be emitted each period milliseconds (x = 0 then x = 1, x = 2, ...).

See the official doc for more details.
