WorkerGlobalScope: setTimeout() method - Web APIs

Baseline Widely available *

Note: This feature is only available in Web Workers.

The setTimeout() method of the WorkerGlobalScope interface sets a timer which executes a function or specified piece of code once the timer expires.

setTimeout(code)
setTimeout(code, delay)

setTimeout(functionRef)
setTimeout(functionRef, delay)
setTimeout(functionRef, delay, param1)
setTimeout(functionRef, delay, param1, param2)
setTimeout(functionRef, delay, param1, param2, /* …, */ paramN)

functionRef

A function to be executed after the timer expires.

code

An alternative syntax that allows you to include a string instead of a function, which is compiled and executed when the timer expires. This syntax is not recommended for the same reasons that make using eval() a security risk.

delay Optional

The time, in milliseconds that the timer should wait before the specified function or code is executed. If this parameter is omitted, a value of 0 is used, meaning execute "immediately", or more accurately, the next event cycle.

Note that in either case, the actual delay may be longer than intended; see Reasons for delays longer than specified.

Also note that if the value isn't a number, implicit type coercion is silently done on the value to convert it to a number — which can lead to unexpected and surprising results; see Non-number delay values are silently coerced into numbers for an example.

param1, …, paramN Optional

Additional arguments which are passed through to the function specified by functionRef.

The setTimeout() method returns a positive integer (typically within the range of 1 to 2,147,483,647) that uniquely identifies the timer created by the call. This identifier, often referred to as a "timeout ID", can be passed to clearTimeout() to cancel the timer.

Within the same global environment (e.g., a specific window or worker) the timeout ID is guaranteed not to be reused for any new timer as long as the original timer remains active. However, separate global environments maintain their own independent pools of timer IDs.

See Window.setTimeout() for detailed descriptions.

See Window.setTimeout() for examples.
