# `Hephaestus.Steps.Wait`
[🔗](https://github.com/hephaestus-org/hephaestus_core/blob/v0.3.1/lib/hephaestus/steps/wait.ex#L1)

Built-in step that pauses a workflow for a specified duration.

Returns `{:async}` immediately. The runner is responsible for scheduling
a resume after the configured delay using `delay_ms/1`.

## Config

  * `:duration` - integer amount of time
  * `:unit` - one of `:second`, `:minute`, `:hour`, `:day`

# `delay_ms`

```elixir
@spec delay_ms(%{duration: integer(), unit: :second | :minute | :hour | :day}) ::
  integer()
```

Converts a duration config map into milliseconds.

Used by runners to determine how long to wait before resuming the workflow.
