Add Deno.delay as promise version of setTimeout

[ry]

async function delay(ms: number): Promise<void> {
  const promise = createResolvable();
  setTimeout(() => {
    promise.resolve();
  }, ms);
  return promise;
}

Only slightly better than new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, ms)).

Is it okay to encourage something non-portable for a trivial high-level convenience? I don't know if this is a good idea, at least with what I understand to be Deno's current set of philosophies.

This is in std:

deno/std/util/async.ts

Lines 110 to 117 in a0d3b4e

	// Delays the given milliseconds and resolves.
	export function delay(ms: number): Promise<void> {
	return new Promise((res): number =>
	setTimeout((): void => {
	res();
	}, ms)
	);
	}

[ry]

@nayeemrmn, yea you make a good point...

The up to date version:

deno add @std/async

import { delay } from "@std/async/delay";

await delay(100); // waits for 100 milliseconds
