I need to make a delay or sleep to full pause the code

I this:

setTimeout(() => {
    console.log("Hello")
}, 2000)

console.log("World")

But the log "World" prints first

Previously I'm using python and I used a code:

print("Hello")

time.sleep(2000)

print("World")

It's a success the word "Hello" prints first before world because of the time.sleep()

but I'm searching javascript code

If there's a code for it please share

  • Hello, the use of setTimeout was the right answer. Just put the code you want to execute first before this function, and the code you want to execute after 2 secondes inside it. console.log("Hello") setTimeout(() => { console.log("World") }, 2000) – Bloodbee May 07 '21 at 10:23

function sleep(ms) {
  return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}

async function wait() {
  console.log('sleeping...');
  await sleep(2000); // 2000 ms = 2 sec
  console.log('done');
}

wait();
