有没有比下面的pausecomp函数(取自此处)更好的方法来设计JavaScript中的睡眠?

function pausecomp(millis)
{
    var date = new Date();
    var curDate = null;
    do { curDate = new Date(); }
    while(curDate-date < millis);
}

这不是JavaScript中的Sleep的重复-动作之间的延迟;我希望在函数的中间有一个真正的睡眠,而不是在代码执行之前有一段延迟。

在LiveScript(编译为JavaScript)中,可以执行以下操作:

sleep = (ms, func) -> set-timeout func, ms

console.log "hello-1"
<- sleep 2000ms
console.log "hello-2"
<- sleep 2000ms
console.log "hello-3"

从该链接获取的代码不会冻结计算机。但它只在Firefox中有效。

/**
 * Netscape compatible WaitForDelay function.
 * You can use it as an alternative to Thread.Sleep() in any major programming language
 * that support it while JavaScript it self doesn't have any built-in function to do such a thing.
 * parameters:
 * (Number) delay in millisecond
 */
function nsWaitForDelay(delay) {
    /**
     * Just uncomment this code if you're building an extension for Firefox.
     * Since Firefox 3, we'll have to ask for user permission to execute XPCOM objects.
     */
    netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect");

    // Get the current thread.
    var thread = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/thread-manager;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIThreadManager).currentThread;

    // Create an inner property to be used later as a notifier.
    this.delayed = true;

    /* Call JavaScript setTimeout function
      * to execute this.delayed = false
      * after it finishes.
      */
    setTimeout("this.delayed = false;", delay);

    /**
     * Keep looping until this.delayed = false
     */
    while (this.delayed) {
        /**
         * This code will not freeze your browser as it's documented in here:
         * https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Code_snippets/Threads#Waiting_for_a_background_task_to_complete
         */
        thread.processNextEvent(true);
    }
}

让事情看起来像大多数人想要的更好的解决方案是使用匿名函数:

alert('start');
var a = 'foo';
// Lots of code
setTimeout(function(){  // Beginning of code that should run AFTER the timeout
    alert(a);
    // Lots more code
}, 5000);  // Put the timeout here

这可能是最接近你想要的东西。

注意,如果你需要多次睡眠,这可能会在匆忙中变得很难看,你可能需要重新考虑你的设计。

为了测试,我需要一段忙碌的等待。我不想拆分代码,因为这需要很多工作,所以一个简单的for为我做了这件事。

for (var i=0; i<1000000; i++){                  
    // Waiting
}

我看不出这样做有什么坏处,这对我来说很有好处。

现在还可以使用本机模块util来提供常规同步函数。

const { promisify } = require('util')
const sleep = promisify(setTimeout)

module.exports = () => {
  await someAsyncFunction()
  await sleep(2000)
  console.log('2 seconds later...')
}

可以使用带有递增较大值的闭包调用setTimeout()。

var items = ['item1', 'item2', 'item3'];

function functionToExecute(item) {
  console.log('function executed for item: ' + item);
}

$.each(items, function (index, item) {
  var timeoutValue = index * 2000;
  setTimeout(function() {
    console.log('waited ' + timeoutValue + ' milliseconds');
    functionToExecute(item);
  }, timeoutValue);
});

结果:

waited 0 milliseconds
function executed for item: item1
waited 2000 milliseconds
function executed for item: item2
waited 4000 milliseconds
function executed for item: item3
