我想在while循环中添加一个delay/sleep:

我是这样试的:

alert('hi');

for(var start = 1; start < 10; start++) {
  setTimeout(function () {
    alert('hello');
  }, 3000);
}

只有第一种情况是正确的:在显示alert('hi')后,它将等待3秒,然后alert('hello')将显示,但随后alert('hello')将不断重复。

我想要的是,在警报('hello')显示3秒后警报('hi'),然后它需要等待3秒的第二次警报('hello'),以此类推。

下面是我用来循环数组的函数:

function loopOnArrayWithDelay(theArray, delayAmount, i, theFunction, onComplete){

    if (i < theArray.length && typeof delayAmount == 'number'){

        console.log("i "+i);

        theFunction(theArray[i], i);

        setTimeout(function(){

            loopOnArrayWithDelay(theArray, delayAmount, (i+1), theFunction, onComplete)}, delayAmount);
    }else{

        onComplete(i);
    }
}

你可以这样使用它:

loopOnArrayWithDelay(YourArray, 1000, 0, function(e, i){
    //Do something with item
}, function(i){
    //Do something once loop has completed
}

其他回答

因为ES7有一个更好的方法来等待循环:

// Returns a Promise that resolves after "ms" Milliseconds
const timer = ms => new Promise(res => setTimeout(res, ms))

async function load () { // We need to wrap the loop into an async function for this to work
  for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    console.log(i);
    await timer(3000); // then the created Promise can be awaited
  }
}

load();

当引擎到达await部分时,它设置一个超时并停止async函数的执行。然后,当超时完成时,继续执行。这是非常有用的,因为你可以延迟(1)嵌套循环,(2)有条件的,(3)嵌套函数:

异步函数任务(i) {// 3 等待计时器(1000); console.log('任务${i}完成! '); } 异步函数main() { 对于(设I = 0;I < 100;I += 10) { For(令j = 0;J < 10;j++) {// 1 如果(j % 2) {// 2 等待任务(i + j); } } } } main (); 函数定时器(ms){返回新的承诺(res => setTimeout(res, ms));}

虽然ES7现在被NodeJS和现代浏览器支持,但你可能想用BabelJS编译它,这样它就可以在任何地方运行。

const autoPlayer = (arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]) => {
  // Base case:
  if (arr.length < 1) return

  // Remove the first element from the array.
  const item = arr.shift()

  // Set timout 
  setTimeout(() => {
    console.log('Hello, world!', item)  // Visualisation.
    autoPlayer() // Call function again.
  }, 1000) // Iterate every second.
}

Hey, I know this post is very old, but this code "loops" and adds a delay to it using a recursive method. I don't think you can 'actually' delay a loop itself from iterating based on reading various comments from other people. Maybe this can help someone out! Basically the function accepts an array (in this example). On each iteration the setTimeout Javascript method is called. The function calls itself again indefinitely when the timer of the setTimeout function expires, but on each call the array becomes smaller until it reaches the base-case. I hope this can help anyone else out.

我认为你需要这样的东西:

var TimedQueue = function(defaultDelay){
    this.queue = [];
    this.index = 0;
    this.defaultDelay = defaultDelay || 3000;
};

TimedQueue.prototype = {
    add: function(fn, delay){
        this.queue.push({
            fn: fn,
            delay: delay
        });
    },
    run: function(index){
        (index || index === 0) && (this.index = index);
        this.next();
    },
    next: function(){
        var self = this
        , i = this.index++
        , at = this.queue[i]
        , next = this.queue[this.index]
        if(!at) return;
        at.fn();
        next && setTimeout(function(){
            self.next();
        }, next.delay||this.defaultDelay);
    },
    reset: function(){
        this.index = 0;
    }
}

测试代码:

var now = +new Date();

var x = new TimedQueue(2000);

x.add(function(){
    console.log('hey');
    console.log(+new Date() - now);
});
x.add(function(){
    console.log('ho');
    console.log(+new Date() - now);
}, 3000);
x.add(function(){
    console.log('bye');
    console.log(+new Date() - now);
});

x.run();

注意:使用警报暂停javascript执行,直到你关闭警报。 它的代码可能比您要求的要多,但这是一个健壮的可重用解决方案。

   let counter =1;
   for(let item in items) {
        counter++;
        setTimeout(()=>{
          //your code
        },counter*5000); //5Sec delay between each iteration
    }

据我所知,setTimeout函数是异步调用的。你能做的是将整个循环包装在一个异步函数中,并等待一个包含setTimeout的Promise,如下所示:

var looper = async function () {
  for (var start = 1; start < 10; start++) {
    await new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
      setTimeout(function () {
        console.log("iteration: " + start.toString());
        resolve(true);
      }, 1000);
    });
  }
  return true;
}

然后像这样调用运行它:

looper().then(function(){
  console.log("DONE!")
});

请花些时间好好理解异步编程。
