tl;dr

To set a time delay in JavaScript, you can use the setTimeout() function. This function takes two parameters: a callback function and a delay in milliseconds.

For example, to delay the execution of a function by one second, you would write the following code:

var delayInMilliseconds = 1000; //1 second setTimeout(function() { //your code to be executed after 1 second }, delayInMilliseconds);
