Add delay before performing async call

[Mbuckley0]

I'd like to set something up similar to the retry_delay so that I can wait a few seconds before certain asynchronous calls are made. My example use case is that I have a dashboard which has some fairly database intensive queries in it. I'd like to do async calls for all of the elements visible at the top of the page first so that they come in faster and then a second or so later it will perform the calls for the other elements.

Thanks for the idea, @Mbuckley0. I believe this would an interesting feature for other users. Did you try to implement something yourself already?

[Mbuckley0]

Not yet. It should be pretty easy to implement using setTimeout. I'm happy to add it in and create a PR for it.

Sure, let's add it and see how it looks, thank you

Hey guys, looking for exactly this. The idea is to load a bunch of orders and for each order call an async render with a staggered delay, to avoid having all the partial to be fired at once. For example i'd like to load each partial with a 100ms delay.

Has anyone already tried this?
