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

If you are using angular5 and above, please include the below method in your ts file.

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

then call this delay() method wherever you want.

e.g:

validateInputValues() {
    if (null == this.id|| this.id== "") {
        this.messageService.add(
            {severity: 'error', summary: 'ID is Required.'});
        this.delay(3000).then(any => {
            this.messageService.clear();
        });
    }
}

This will disappear message growl after 3 seconds.
