clearInterval function
The clearInterval function stops
the timer set by the
setInterval
function. The function takes the id
of the timer to stop. The timer ID is
returned by the setInterval function.
Syntax
clearInterval(identifier);
Example
Let's start a timer that outputs
integers every second, and then stop
it when the counter reaches the
value 10:
let i = 0;
let id = setInterval(function() {
i++;
if (i == 10) {
clearInterval(id);
} else {
console.log(i);
}
}, 1000);
