An alias of pauseFn().

pauseFn.resume(func)

func: Function returned by pauseFn()
Return: any[]

It restores the original functionality of the paused Function, calls it with the every arguments passed while paused, and returns the return values of each calls as an Array.

const pausedMathMax = pauseFn(Math.max);
 
pausedMathMax(0); //=> undefined, not 0
pausedMathMax(Infinity, 1); //=> undefined, not Infinity
 
// The original function works as usual
Math.max(2, 3); //=> 3
 
pauseFn.resume(pausedMathMax); //=> [0, Infinity]
 
// Unlike the variable name, it's no longer paused
pausedMathMax(2, 3); //=> 3
