(async () => {
	const result = await setImmediate('maya');
	console.log(result); // 'maya'
})();

(async () => {
	let result = 0;
	for await (const startTime of setInterval(100, Date.now())) {
		const now = Date.now();
		result = result + 1;

API

setTimeout([delay[, value, options]])

Returns: Promise

Property	Type	Default	Description
`delay`	`number`	`1`	The number of milliseconds to wait before fulfilling the promise.
`value`	`*`		A value with which the promise is fulfilled.
`options.ref`	`boolean`	`true`	Set to `false` to indicate that the scheduled timeout should not require the event loop to remain active. Valid only for server environment.
`options.signal`	`AbortSignal`		An optional `AbortSignal` that can be used to cancel the scheduled timeout.

setImmediate([value, options])

Returns: Promise

Property	Type	Default	Description
`value`	`*`		A value with which the promise is fulfilled.
`options.ref`	`boolean`	`true`	Set to `false` to indicate that the scheduled immediate should not require the event loop to remain active. Valid only for server environment.
`options.signal`	`AbortSignal`		An optional `AbortSignal` that can be used to cancel the scheduled immediate.

setInterval([delay[, value, options]])

Returns: async iterator that generates values in an interval of delay.

Property	Type	Default	Description
`delay`	`number`	`1`	The number of milliseconds to wait between iterations.
`value`	`*`		A value with which the iterator returns.
`options.ref`	`boolean`	`true`	Set to `false` to indicate that the scheduled timeout between iterations should not require the event loop to remain active. Valid only for server environment.
`options.signal`	`AbortSignal`		An optional `AbortSignal` that can be used to cancel the scheduled timeout between operations.

Node and browser support

Supports Node 10+.

Tested in Chrome 72, Firefox 65, Internet Explorer 11 and should work in all modern browsers.

Check support based on Browserslist configuration).

Assumes Promise, AbortController and setImmediate are polyfilled or available in global context.

Test

For automated tests, run npm run test:automated (append :watch for watcher support).

Test suite is taken and modified from official Node.js repository (setTimeout, setImmediate, setInterval).
