delay execution of code in JS - setTimer
setTimer is a global function sets a timer which piece of code once the timer expires (this is NOT a debounce)
This is used when yo want to delay execution before another piece of code get executed
setTimeout(() => {
alert("you will see me in 3 sec")
}, 3000)For example Dropzone JS has a feature to check if file is valid after file was added but that check takes a while before it gets reflected in file.accepted variable
dropzone.on("addedfile", file => {
setTimeout(() => {
if (file.accepted) {
// uploadd
}
}
}
