Parameters
- callback: SchedulerPostTaskCallback
- Optionaloptions: SchedulerPostTaskOptions
Returns Promise<any>

yield

yield(): Promise<void>
The yield() method of the Scheduler interface is used for yielding to the main thread during a task and continuing execution later, with the continuation scheduled as a prioritized task (see the Prioritized Task Scheduling API for more information). This allows long-running work to be broken up so the browser stays responsive.
