Hi,  
So I gotta this function in .ts and I want this timeout to be delayed by 1sec before going live, is it possible?

```auto
 ionViewDidLoad() {
    setTimeout(() => this.splash = false, 3500);
  }

```

… should be more like…

```auto
 ionViewDidLoad() {
    setTimeout(() => {
        this.splash = false
     }, 3500);
  }

```

Changing `3500` to `4500` would increase the duration of the delay by 1 second.

The time value in setTimeout is the delay in milliseconds.
