Windowless sleep

[futurepaul]

web-sys calls the "window" object for setTimeout, but that's not actually necessary (setTimeout is available in js environments without a window, like node). Also, it seems like the web-sys console_log is only used for tests, so with that we can move the web-sys dep entirely to dev-dependencies

this all seems to work fine in browser but I can't figure out how to run the tests on my mac

Is there a way we can do this without having to add javascript, or at least a library that does this for us?

[benthecarman]

This could be worth trying instead

Agreed, no js. Make it into a rust crate and we'll add it :P

web-sys calls the "window" object for setTimeout,

Why is this a problem though?

[benthecarman]

For Javascript environments that aren't a browser

does this work with wasm? tried looking at the impl but I couldn't quite follow it

yeah this is helpful for WASI or node contexts, but also there's no "window" object in a web worker

idk, was hoping you'd test 😅

lol it's not if this tracking issue is real async-rs/async-std#220

[futurepaul]

windowless_sleep = "0.1.1"

[TonyGiorgio]

Is this good to merge? It would be good to remove local storage.

[benthecarman]

Should be okay

[TonyGiorgio]

Needs rebase.
