Add note: setTimeout not supported in Cloud Code about docs HOT 3 CLOSED

Can you elaborate? Which example are you referring to, and what is the proposed replacement?

As a reminder, technical support is not provided via GitHub issues. You may ask technical questions in Stack Overflow, or open a discussion in the Parse Developers discussion forum.

from docs.

The next example is in your JS guide https://parse.com/docs/js/guide#promises-creating-async-methods

var delay = function(millis) {
  var promise = new Parse.Promise();
  setTimeout(function() {
    promise.resolve();
  }, millis);
  return promise;
};

delay(100).then(function() {
  // This ran after 100ms!
});

I wanted to use it in Cloud Code, but setTimeout is not allowed

Result: ReferenceError: setTimeout is not defined
    at delay (main.js:21:3)
    at main.js:98:7

I suggest to add a note to your guide that setTimeout is not supported in cloud code

from docs.

This specific example is around the use of Promises, which is a JavaScript SDK feature not specific to Cloud Code. The JavaScript SDK can be used in other environments where setTimeout is defined.
