How to delay script run using moment js?

Question

I want to execute a script at a specific time. How do I get something like this to work?

var future = moment().add('1', 'm').format()
if (moment().format() == future) {console.log('Whatsapp')}

Get the time difference between now and the specific time in the future. Set a timeout:

const future = moment().add('5', 's');
const now = moment();
setTimeout(() => { console.log('Whatsapp'); }, future.diff(now));
