how to slow down a javascript loop

Question

I would like a add a 1-2 second delay on each iteration of the following loop.

Answer 1

Modern JS Solution:

function timeout(ms) {
    return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms))
}

async function slowedCode() {
    console.log("Before Delay")
    await this.timeout(Math.random() * 2000 + 500) // Wait random amount of time between [0.5, 2.5] seconds
    console.log("After Delay")
}

async function slowedForLoop() {
    const data = ["1","2","3","4","5"]
    for (let d of data) {
        console.log(d)
        await this.timeout(Math.random() * 100 + 500)
    }    
}

The only draw back is you have to execute the delay from inside an async function.
