Scala - ScheduledFuture

Question

I am trying to implement scheduled future in Scala. I would like it to wait specific time and then execute the body. So far I tried the following, simple approach

Answer 1

Shortest solution for this, is probably making use of scala-async:

import scala.async.Async.{async, await}

def delay[T](value: T, t: duration): Future[T] = async {
  Thread.sleep(t.toMillis)
  value
}

Or in case you want delayed execution of a block

def delay[T](t: duration)(block: => T): Future[T] async {
  Thread.sleep(t.toMillis)
  block()
}
