On a specific page in my application I think of doing a server-call to update information on a set interval. I stumbled upon a problem though. I want to cancel my $timeout when a user navigates away from the page in question so that the application doesn't try to work with stuff that isn't there anymore.
Any ideas on how to work around this?

var customTimeout = $timeout(function () { // arbitrary code }, 55); $timeout. cancel(customTimeout); The same applies to “$interval()”. To disable a watch, just call it.
This '$timeout' service of AngularJS is functionally similar to the 'window. setTimeout' object of vanilla JavaScript. This service allows the developer to set some time delay before the execution of the function.
The $timeout service can be used to call another JavaScript function after a given time delay. The $timeout service only schedules a single call to the function. For repeated calling of a function, see $interval later in this text.
Flushes the queue of pending tasks. This method is essentially an alias of $flushPendingTasks .
Use $timeout.cancel like this:
yourTimer = $timeout(function() { /* ... */ }, 5000); $timeout.cancel(yourTimer); Reference
