timers

Usage in Deno

import * as mod from "node:timers";

The timer module exposes a global API for scheduling functions to be called at some future period of time. Because the timer functions are globals, there is no need to import node:timers to use the API.

The timer functions within Node.js implement a similar API as the timers API provided by Web Browsers but use a different internal implementation that is built around the Node.js Event Loop.
