useWait Function ​

The useWait function is a utility that provides a simple way to introduce a delay or wait for a specified amount of time in your Vue 3 applications. It returns a Promise that resolves after the specified time delay.

Introduction ​

The useWait function is useful when you need to create delays in your code, such as delaying the execution of certain actions or waiting for a specific time period before proceeding with the next task. This function is particularly handy when dealing with asynchronous operations that require timing control.

Usage ​

To use the useWait function, follow these steps:

1. Import the useWait function:

   vue

   <script setup>
   import { useWait } from "masc-vue";
   </script>

   <script setup>
   import { useWait } from "masc-vue";
   </script>

2. Call the useWait function with the desired time delay in milliseconds as the argument.

   vue

   <script setup>
   const wait = useWait(2000); // Wait for 2 seconds (2000 milliseconds).
   </script>

   <script setup>
   const wait = useWait(2000); // Wait for 2 seconds (2000 milliseconds).
   </script>

3. Use the wait Promise to introduce the time delay by waiting for it to resolve.

   vue

   <script setup>
   const performDelayedAction = async () => {
   	// Perform some tasks before the delay.
   	console.log("Task 1");
   
   	// Wait for the specified time (2 seconds) using the `wait` Promise.
   	await useWait(2000);
   
   	// Continue with other tasks after the delay.
   	console.log("Task 2");
   };
   </script>

   <script setup>
   const performDelayedAction = async () => {
   	// Perform some tasks before the delay.
   	console.log("Task 1");
   
   	// Wait for the specified time (2 seconds) using the `wait` Promise.
   	await useWait(2000);
   
   	// Continue with other tasks after the delay.
   	console.log("Task 2");
   };
   </script>

4. Customize the time delay as needed by passing a different number of milliseconds to the useWait function.

Example ​

Here's an example of using the useWait function to introduce a time delay in a Vue component:

<template>
	<div>
		<button @click="startDelayedAction">Start Delayed Action</button>
	</div>
</template>

<script setup>
import { useWait } from "masc-vue";

const startDelayedAction = async () => {
	console.log("Action started");

	// Wait for 2 seconds using the `wait` Promise.
	await useWait(2000); // 2-second delay.

	console.log("Action completed");
};
</script>

<template>
	<div>
		<button @click="startDelayedAction">Start Delayed Action</button>
	</div>
</template>

<script setup>
import { useWait } from "masc-vue";

const startDelayedAction = async () => {
	console.log("Action started");

	// Wait for 2 seconds using the `wait` Promise.
	await useWait(2000); // 2-second delay.

	console.log("Action completed");
};
</script>

In this example, we've used the useWait function to introduce a 2-second delay before proceeding with the next task.
