How do I use async/await with timers in JavaScript?

Can you explain how to use async/await with setTimeout in JavaScript?

Sure! You can use async/await with setTimeout by wrapping it in a Promise. Here's an example.

Could you show me a code snippet for that?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example:

const delay = (ms) => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));

const asyncFunction = async () => {
    console.log('Waiting...');
    await delay(2000);
    console.log('Done!');
};

asyncFunction();

What happens if I use async/await without wrapping setTimeout in a Promise?

If you use setTimeout directly without wrapping it in a Promise, the async/await won't work as expected because setTimeout is not a promise-based function.
