I've got a react application and I want to display the time and date with the time updating every minute as it should. I wrote this code but if I leave the app running for an extended period of time I eventually get a crash that tells me the memory has been exceeded.

If there is a better way to do this I'd love some guidance. Thanks.

let currentDate = new Date();    

  setInterval(() => {
    currentDate = new Date();
    setDate({
      time: currentDate.toLocaleTimeString("en-US", {
        hour: "2-digit",
        minute: "2-digit",
      }),
      date: currentDate.toDateString().slice(3),
    });
  }, 60000);
