I have this piece of code:
let timerId = setTimeout(function tick() {
alert("tick");
setTimeout(tick(), 1000);
}, 1000);
This creates an infinite loop that doesn't end. How can I stop this setTimeout after suppose 10000 ms or 10 s?
A soluation is to push the timeout to array when everytime you create it and loop over the array to clear it.
let arr = []
let timerId = setTimeout(function tick() {
console.log("tick");
arr.push(setTimeout(tick(), 1000));
}, 1000);
setTimeout(function(){
arr.forEach(i=>{
window.clearTimeout(i)
}))
},10000)
But, it always stable to use setInterval():
let arr = []
setInterval(function tick() {
console.log("tick");
}, 1000);
