a-mimir

Barebones sleep functions. As simple and boring as it gets

Usage

import { sleep } from "a-mimir";

// block the current thread (doesn't work in the browser main thread, but works in node and web workers)
sleep.sync(500); // block for 500ms

// schedule an action to run later, without blocking the main thread. works everywhere
const promise = sleep.async(500); // promise which resolves in 500ms

promise.then(() => {
  console.log("is printed second");
});

console.log("is printed first");

Notes

• sleep.sync relies on the globals SharedArrayBuffer, Int32Array, and Atomics.wait.
• sleep.async relies on the globals Promise and setTimeout.
