# delay
Delays the execution of code for a specified number of milliseconds.
This function returns a Promise that resolves after the specified delay, allowing you to use it
with async/await to pause execution.
It also supports an optional AbortSignal to cancel the delay.
## Signature
```typescript
function delay(ms: number, options?: DelayOptions): Promise<void>;
```
### Parameters
- `ms` (`number`): The number of milliseconds to delay.
- `options` (`DelayOptions`, optional): An options object.
- `signal` (`AbortSignal`, optional): An optional `AbortSignal` to cancel the delay.
### Returns
(`Promise<void>`): A Promise that resolves after the specified delay.
## Examples
### Basic Usage
```typescript
async function foo() {
console.log('Start');
await delay(1000); // Delays execution for 1 second
console.log('End');
}
foo();
```
### Using with an AbortSignal
```typescript
async function foo() {
const controller = new AbortController();
const signal = controller.signal;
setTimeout(() => controller.abort(), 50); // Will cancel the delay after 50ms
try {
await delay(1000, { signal });
} catch (error) {
console.log(error); // Will log 'The operation was aborted'
}
}
```
