$timeout
and $interval
are Angular wrappers for setTimeout
and setInterval
, integrated with the digest cycle. They ensure model updates are reflected in the DOM. To prevent memory leaks, use $timeout.cancel()
and $interval.cancel()
for clean-up, especially for ongoing tasks.
var interval = $interval(function() {
console.log("Repeating task");
}, 1000);
// Cancel the interval
$interval.cancel(interval);
