Execute script after specific delay using JavaScript

Question

Is there any JavaScript method similar to the jQuery delay() or wait() (to delay the execution of a script for a specific amount of time)?

Answer 1

delay function:

/**
 * delay or pause for some time
 * @param {number} t - time (ms)
 * @return {Promise<*>}
 */
const delay = async t => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, t));

usage inside async function:

await delay(1000);
