How to use settimeout on vuex action?

@domenico 

To use setTimeout in a Vuex action, you can follow these steps:

1. Import setTimeout from the JavaScript built-in global object, window, at the beginning of your Vuex actions file:

1

import { setTimeout } from 'window';

1. Within your Vuex action, use setTimeout along with a promise to create a delay before executing another action or committing a mutation.

actions: {
  async myAction({ commit, dispatch }) {
    // Execute some code before the delay if needed

    await new Promise(resolve => {
      setTimeout(() => {
        // Execute code, commit a mutation, or dispatch another action here
        commit('mutation_name', payload);
        dispatch('anotherAction', payload);
        
        resolve();
      }, 2000); // Set the delay time in milliseconds
    });

    // Execute code after the delay if needed
  }
}

In the example above, the setTimeout function is wrapped in a promise, allowing the await keyword to wait until the delay is complete before continuing the execution of the action.

Note that when using setTimeout with async/await syntax, you need to explicitly wrap it in a Promise.

Make sure to adjust the delay time (2000 in the example) according to your requirements.
