javascript-lodashHow can I use Lodash to delay a JavaScript function?

Using Lodash, you can delay the execution of a JavaScript function with the _.delay() function. The syntax for this is:

_.delay(function, wait, [arg1], [arg2], ...)

Where function is the function to be delayed, wait is the amount of time (in milliseconds) to wait before executing the function, and [arg1], [arg2], ... are optional arguments to be passed to the function.

For example, the following code will log "Hello World!" after a delay of 500 milliseconds:

_.delay(function() {
  console.log('Hello World!');
}, 500);

Output example

Hello World!
