thread-sleep-compat

Synchronous thread sleep for Node.js 0.8 and newer.

Please see the original thread-sleep module for details.

Installation

npm install thread-sleep-compat

Usage

var sleep = require('thread-sleep-compat');

var start = Date.now();
var res = sleep(1000);
var end = Date.now();
// res is the actual time that we slept for
console.log(res + ' ~= ' + (end - start) + ' ~= 1000');
// Example output: 1005 ~= 1010 ~= 1000

sleep(ms) blocks the current thread and returns the actual sleep duration in milliseconds. It throws when ms is negative, non-integer, outside the supported range, or not a number.

Node 0.x versions below 0.12 use bundled native binaries. Newer Node versions use the thread-sleep dependency.
