@perl/sleep v1.0.0

@perl/sleep

Async (promise) and sync(!) sleep for Node.js

SUMMARY

const sleep = require('@perl/sleep')

await sleep(1.5) // sleep for 1.5 seconds

const sleep = require('@perl/sleep').sync

sleep(1.5) // sleep for 1.5 seconds, BLOCKING

DETAILS

The async/promise based sleep is a simple wrapper around setTimeout and will work as you expect and is exactly as (in)accurate.

The sync based sleep is built on spawnSync and may be less accurate for very small values as it is spawning a subshell. This is slightly less accurate than the async sleep, on my system it runs long by 15-20ms on the first call, 5ms on later calls.
