javascript - How to wait for a period of time after a function run

Question

If I have a function which I would like my js code to run it immediately but after the run, wait for 2 seconds. How to achieve this logic?

(Note: It is just the inverse logic compare with setTimeout(), since setTimeout() first wait a certain amount of time then execute the function.)

Answer 1

Just put your code inside an anonymous function passed to setTimeout.

e.g.

functionToRunFirst();
setTimeout(function() {
    // rest of code here
}, 2000);
