Whats the ScalaJS way to make an event occur in n milliseconds time?

Question

Is it to use ScalaJS DOM and use the following?

org.scalajs.dom.setTimeout( () => {
  // Work
}, 1000)

Is there another way or a better way within the context of ScalaJS?

Answer 1

Starting with Scala.js 0.6.0, there is a more standard way, and more idiomatic Scala, to do it:

import scala.scalajs.js.timers._

setTimeout(1000) { // note the absence of () =>
  // work
}

See the ScalaDoc of timers.

Answer 2

There isn't a better way. If you want you can wrap it in a helper and call it whatever you want, but by default that's it.
