Promise.delay

Promise.delay(
    int ms,
    [any|Promise<any> value=undefined]
) -> Promise

Returns a promise that will be resolved with value (or undefined) after given ms milliseconds. If value is a promise, the delay will start counting down when it is fulfilled and the returned promise will be fulfilled with the fulfillment value of the value promise. If value is a rejected promise, the resulting promise will be rejected immediately.

Promise.delay(500).then(function() {
    console.log("500 ms passed");
    return "Hello world";
}).delay(500).then(function(helloWorldString) {
    console.log(helloWorldString);
    console.log("another 500 ms passed") ;
});
