I'm porting some JavaScript to Dart. I have code that uses window.setTimeout to run a callback after a period of time. In some situations, that callback gets canceled via window.clearTimeout.
What is the equivalent of this in Dart? I can use new Future.delayed to replace setTimeout, but I can't see a way to cancel this. Nor can I find away to call clearTimeout from Dart.

If you need to run a function multiple times, use the setInterval() method. To stop the timeout and prevent the function from executing, use the clearTimeout() method. The JavaScript setTimeout() method returns an ID which can be used in clearTimeout() method.
clearTimeout(timeout) Clears an existing timer by passing in the numeric value returned by setTimeout(). Sometimes you need to clear a timeout timer before it executes. clearTimeout() uses the value returned by the setTimeout(function, milliseconds) function.
The global clearTimeout() method cancels a timeout previously established by calling setTimeout() .
You can use the Timer class
import 'dart:async'; var timer = Timer(Duration(seconds: 1), () => print('done')); timer.cancel(); If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
